oleonitrile Usage And Synthesis

Uses

9-Octadecenenitrile is used in the production of biofuel and biochar by thermal pyrolysis of linseed seed. It is also used as a fatty nitrile solvent for agricultural formulations.

Definition

ChEBI: Oleonitrile is a fatty nitrile obtained by formal condensation of oleic acid with ammonia. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a fatty nitrile and an olefinic compound. It is functionally related to an oleic acid.
