Common Name | Acetonitrile |
---|
Description | Acetonitrile, also known as CH3-C#N or cyanomethane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as nitriles. Nitriles are compounds having the structure RC#N; thus C-substituted derivatives of hydrocyanic acid, HC#N. Acetonitrile is the chemical compound with the formula CH3CN. Acetonitrile is possibly neutral. Acetonitrile is a potentially toxic compound. Consequently the primary mechanism of toxicity for organic nitriles is their production of toxic cyanide ions or hydrogen cyanide. Skin contact with cyanide salts can irritate and produce sores. Antidotes to cyanide poisoning include hydroxocobalamin and sodium nitrite, which release the cyanide from the cytochrome system, and rhodanase, which is an enzyme occurring naturally in mammals that combines serum cyanide with thiosulfate, producing comparatively harmless thiocyanate. Exposure to high levels of cyanide for a short time harms the brain and heart and can even cause coma, seizures, apnea, cardiac arrest and death. |
