Acetic Acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3COOH (also written as CH3CO2H or C2H4O2). It is a colorless liquid that when undiluted is also called glacial acetic acid. Vinegar is roughly 4%-8% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. Acetic acid has a distinctive [...]
Acetonitrile is the chemical compound with the formula CH3CN. This colorless liquid is the simplest organic nitrile (hydrogen cyanide is a simpler nitrile, but the cyanide anion is not classed as organic). It is produced mainly as a byproduct of acrylonitrile manufacture. It is used as a polar aprotic solvent in organic synthesis and in [...]

1,4 Butanediol a colorless, organic liquid derived from butane by placement of alcohol groups at each end of the chain. 1,4 Butanediol is one of four stable isomers of butanediol. In the presence of phosphoric acid and high temperature, it dehydrates to the important solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF). Uses: Coatings, ink, adhesives, plastics, rubber. 1,4-Butanediol is [...]
