Acetonitrile’s primary function in the chemical industry is as a solvent. It has moderate polarity and is miscible in water in addition to a large range of organic solvents. As a solvent, acetonitrile is used in the purification of butadiene and the production of DNA oligonucleotides. Additionally, acetonitrile is a key component in the early-stage production of goods such as plastic and rubber products, a variety of pharmaceuticals, lithium batteries, photographic film, spinning fibers, perfumes, pesticides, and acrylic nail polish removers. In laboratory settings, ACN is often used in the mobile phase in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Another minor use for acetonitrile is for the extraction of fatty acids from vegetable and animal oils.
