CAS 86-29-3 — Diphenylacetonitrile

Diphenylacetonitrile is an aromatic nitrile compound widely used as a key intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly for the production of APIs like fluoxetine (Prozac) and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). It also serves as a building block in agrochemicals and specialty polymers. This white to off-white crystalline solid is highly pure, with a melting point of 75–78°C and minimal odor. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and acetone but insoluble in water. Molekula supplies Diphenylacetonitrile (CAS 86-29-3) from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
