NFPA-R =Butyronitrile, or propyl cyanide, is a low molecular weight
nitrile with the molecular formula C4H7CN. It is a clear liquid that is miscible withethanol ,diethyl ether anddimethylformamide .Butyronitrile can be prepared by the controlled cyanation of "n"-butanol with
ammonia at 300 °C with Ni-Al2O3 catalysts.References
