4-[(4-Cyanophenyl)methyl]benzonitrile - Introduction

4,4 '-Dicyanodiphenylmethane is an organic compound with the chemical formula C16H10N2. Here are some information about its nature, use, formulation and safety:

Nature:
- 4,4 '-Dicyanodiphenylmethane is a colorless crystal that is soluble in organic solvents, such as alcohols and ethers, and insoluble in water.
-It has a higher melting point and boiling point, 202-204°C and 450°C, so it is a stable compound.
-In the chemical reaction, it can break the covalent bond through the nuclear replacement reaction.

Use:
- 4,4 '-dicyanodiphenylmethane is mainly used as an important intermediate for polymer materials.
-It can be used to synthesize various polyamides, polyamic acids, polyimines, polyimides and other polymer compounds.
-These polymer materials are widely used in fibers, coatings, plastics, catalysts, polymer additives and other fields.

Preparation Method:
- 4,4 '-dicyanodiphenylmethane can be prepared by reacting terephthalic acid diester with sodium cyanide under alkaline conditions.
-First react the phthalic acid diester with sodium cyanide in an alkaline medium (such as ethanol) to produce two sodium salts of benzoic acid diester.
-Then, by heating, the two sodium salts of benzoic acid diesters are dealcoholized to form 4,4 '-dicyanodiphenylmethane.

Safety Information:
- 4,4 '-dicyanodiphenylmethane has low toxicity, but it is still necessary to pay attention to safe operation.
-When handling it, take appropriate protective measures, such as wearing gloves, goggles and protective clothing.
-Avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract to prevent possible irritation.
-When using or storing, keep away from fire and oxidant, and maintain a well-ventilated working environment.
