Adiponitrile is insoluble in water.

Adiponitrile is a precursor to hexamethylenediamine, which is itself a precursor to nylon 6,6 production (fibers and engineering plastics).
Adiponitrile can be produced using either an aromatics route via adipic acid, or an olefins route via either butadiene or acrylonitrile.
Adiponitrile is produced from acrylonitrile by electrohydrodimerization.

The acrylonitrile route to adiponitrile (as raw material for nylon 6,6 fibers and nylon 6,6 plastics) is used by only two companies in the world.
Adiponitrile ( DNA ) is a dinitrile in the form of a colorless and viscous liquid, an intermediate in the synthesis of polyamides .
Adiponitrile is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH2)4(CN)2.

This viscous, colourless dinitrile, Adiponitrile, is an important precursor to the polymer nylon 66.
In 2005, about one million tonnes of adiponitrile were produced.
Adiponitrile is an important aliphatic dinitrile and a major industrial intermediate.

Adiponitrile is also known as hexanedinitrile and 1,4-dicyanobutane.
Adiponitrile has the molecular formula C₆H₈N₂ and a molecular weight of 108.14 g/mol

Adiponitrile is an organic compound containing two nitrile groups attached to the ends of a four-carbon aliphatic chain.

The two terminal nitrile groups are responsible for much of Adiponitrile's chemical reactivity and industrial importance.

Adiponitrile is a viscous, colorless to slightly yellow liquid at temperatures above its melting point.
Adiponitrile has relatively low vapor pressure compared with many common organic solvents, but it is a toxic industrial chemical and must be handled using appropriate engineering controls and personal protective equipment.

Adiponitrile's greatest industrial significance is its conversion to 1,6-hexanediamine (hexamethylenediamine, HMDA).
HMDA reacts with adipic acid to produce nylon 6,6, making adiponitrile an important intermediate in the nylon industry.

Adiponitrile is used in nylon manufacturing, synthetic fiber synthesis, and in the manufacture of rubber accelerators and corrosion inhibitors.
Adiponitrile is also used as an extractant for aromatic hydrocarbons
In 2005, about one million tonnes of Adiponitrile were produced.

Adiponitrile is mainly used in the production of hexamethylenediamine for manufacturing nylon 6,6.

Synthetic fiber production: Because nylon 6,6 is widely used in fibers, adiponitrile indirectly contributes to the production of: Industrial textile fibers, Carpet fibers, Technical fibers, Automotive fibers, Cordage and reinforcement materials.

-Production of hexamethylenediamine
This is by far the most important application.
Adiponitrile is hydrogenated to produce hexamethylenediamine (HMDA).
HMDA is then used in the manufacture of nylon 6,6.

-Nylon 6,6 production uses of Adiponitrile:
Adiponitrile is therefore an important indirect raw material for nylon 6,6.
Nylon 6,6 is valued for its mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, dimensional stability and thermal properties.

-Engineering plastics uses of Adiponitrile:
The HMDA produced from adiponitrile is also used in nylon-based engineering plastics.
These materials are used where good mechanical strength, durability and chemical resistance are required.

PRODUCTION of ADIPONITRILE:
Early methods
Because of the industrial value of adiponitrile, many methods have been developed for its synthesis.
Early industrial methods started from furfural and later by the chlorination of butadiene to give 1,4-dichloro-2-butene, which with sodium cyanide, converts to 3-hexenedinitrile, which in turn can be hydrogenated to adiponitrile:

ClCH2CH=CHCH2Cl + 2 NaCN → NCCH2CH=CHCH2CN + 2 NaCl
NCCH2CH=CHCH2CN + H2 → NC(CH2)4CN
Adiponitrile has also been produced from adipic acid, by dehydration of the diamide, but this is rarely employed.

Modern methods
After patent application in 2004, the majority of adiponitrile is prepared by the nickel-catalysed hydrocyanation of butadiene, as discovered at DuPont, pioneered by William C.
Drinkard.
The net reaction is:
CH2=CHCH=CH2 + 2 HCN → NC(CH2)4CN

The process involves several stages, the first of which involves monohydrocyanation (the addition of one molecule of HCN), affording isomers of pentenenitriles as well as 2- and 3-methylbutenenitriles.
These unsaturated nitriles are subsequently isomerized to the 3-and 4-pentenenitriles.

In the final stage, these pentenenitriles are subjected to a second hydrocyanation to produce adiponitrile, the anti-Markovnikov product, as well as 2-methylglutaronitrile, a useful byproduct.
Another side reaction is the alkene metathesis of 3-pentenenitrile to yield dicyanobutenes, which are readily hydrogenated to adiponitrile as described above.

The other major industrial method involves hydrodimerization, starting from acrylonitrile:
2 CH2=CHCN + 2 e− + 2 H+ → NCCH2CH2CH2CH2CN
The electrolytic coupling of acrylonitrile was discovered at Monsanto Company.

Applications
Almost all adiponitrile is hydrogenated to hexane-1,6-diamine for the production of nylon:
NC(CH2)4CN + 4 H2 → H2N(CH2)6NH2
Like other nitriles, adiponitrile is susceptible to hydrolysis; however, the resulting adipic acid is less expensively prepared via other routes.

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS of ADIPONITRILE:
Adiponitrile is characterized by:
Two nitrile groups:
These are the principal reactive groups.

Linear aliphatic chain:
The molecule has a four-carbon methylene spacer between the nitrile groups.

No aromatic ring:
Adiponitrile is entirely aliphatic.

No hydroxyl groups:
Therefore, Adiponitrile is not an alcohol.

No carbonyl group:
Despite its relationship to adipic acid, adiponitrile does not contain carboxylic acid groups.

Neutral molecular structure:
Adiponitrile does not carry a formal ionic charge.

High nitrile functionality:
Two nitrile groups provide significant synthetic versatility.

Relatively high boiling point:
Adiponitrile's boiling point is around 295 °C.

Low vapor pressure:
Compared with many low-molecular-weight solvents, it has relatively low volatility.

INDUSTRIAL IMPORTANCE of ADIPONITRILE:
The overwhelming importance of adiponitrile comes from its position in the nylon 6,6 production chain.
The industrial sequence can be simplified as:
Adiponitrile → Hexamethylenediamine → Nylon 6,6

Adiponitrile is hydrogenated to produce hexamethylenediamine.
Hexamethylenediamine is then reacted with adipic acid to produce nylon 6,6.

Nylon 6,6 is used in numerous products including:
Textile fibers
Industrial fibers
Carpet fibers
Engineering plastics
Automotive components
Electrical and electronic components
Mechanical parts
Films and molded products
Therefore, adiponitrile is an important upstream intermediate in the nylon and engineering-polymer industries.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of ADIPONITRILE:
Adiponitrile contains two terminal nitrile functional groups.
The general functional-group structure is:
R–C≡N
In adiponitrile:
N≡C–(CH₂)₄–C≡N

The carbon–nitrogen triple bonds give the molecule significant chemical functionality.
Nitrile groups can participate in hydrolysis, hydrogenation and other chemical transformations.
The most industrially important reaction is hydrogenation of the two nitrile groups to primary amines, producing hexamethylenediamine:
NC(CH₂)₄CN + 4H₂ → H₂N(CH₂)₆NH₂

The resulting hexamethylenediamine is a major raw material for nylon 6,6 production.
Adiponitrile can also undergo hydrolysis of its nitrile groups, ultimately giving derivatives of adipic acid.
However, hydrolysis is not Adiponitrile's principal industrial application because adipic acid can be produced more economically by other routes.

PRODUCTION METHODS of ADIPONITRILE:
Modern industrial production of Adiponitrile primarily uses processes based on butadiene or acrylonitrile.

Butadiene hydrocyanation
One major industrial approach is the nickel-catalyzed hydrocyanation of 1,3-butadiene.
The simplified overall reaction is:
CH₂=CH–CH=CH₂ + 2 HCN → NC–(CH₂)₄–CN
The process involves multiple reaction stages, including formation and isomerization of unsaturated nitriles followed by a second hydrocyanation step.

Acrylonitrile hydrodimerization
Another industrial route involves the electrochemical coupling of acrylonitrile.
Simplified:
2 CH₂=CHCN → NC–(CH₂)₄–CN
This route is associated with electrolytic reductive coupling technology.

Adipic acid/adipamide routes
Older or alternative methods involve adipic-acid derivatives such as adipamide, followed by dehydration.
Production from adipic acid through ammoniation and dehydration processes.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES of ADIPONITRILE:
Adiponitrile is a colorless, transparent to yellow, oily liquid with a slight bitter taste.
Adiponitrile is soluble in methanol, ethanol, chloroform.
Adiponitrile is insoluble in water, cyclohexane, ether, carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride.
Adiponitrile decomposes on heating to react violently with strong oxidants.

PREPARATION of ADIPONITRILE:
The main method of industrial production of adiponitrile is the amination of adipic acid.
Adipic acid and excess ammonia are reacted in the presence of catalyst phosphoric acid or its salts or esters at a temperature of 270-290°C to generate diammonium adipate, which is then heated and dehydrated to generate crude adiponitrile, The product is obtained by rectification.

PRODUCTION METHODS of ADIPONITRILE:
Adiponitrile may be prepared by reacting butadiene with hydrogen cyanide, by the electrodimerization of acrylonitrile, by heating adipamide with acetic anhydride in the presence of cobalt or by reacting 1,4-dichlorobutane with sodium cyanide.
Impurities such as propionitrile, bis (cyanoethyl) ether or acrylonitrile may be present depending on the method of manufacture.

REACTIVITY PROFILE of ADIPONITRILE:
Adiponitrile is incompatible with strong oxidizers.
Adiponitrile is also incompatible with strong acids, strong bases and strong reducing agents.

SYNTHESIS of ADIPONITRILE:
Due to Adiponitrile's importance to the chemical industry, numerous synthesis routes have been developed.

Two main processes are used today :
the Invista process ( Dupont company ) which starts from butadiene and hydrocyanic acid ;
the Ascend process ( Monsanto company ) which uses acrylonitrile as a starting molecule.

Invista Process
Adiponitrile is produced nowadays mainly by hydrocyanation of 1,3 -butadiene H₂C =CH–CH= CH₂catalyzed by nickel , according to a process discovered at DuPont , the overall reaction is :

H₂C =CH–CH = CH₂+ 2 HCN → N≡C(–CH 2 ) 4 –C≡N
This reaction takes place in several stages, first a hydrocyanation which produces pentene-nitriles and methylbutanenitriles

Isomerization converts methylbutanenitriles into pentenitriles.
A second hydrocyanation then leads to the formation of adiponitrile .

This process is implemented by the company Butachimie at the Chalampé plant in Alsace .
This plant produces 35 % of the world's adiponitrile .

Ascend Process
The other process is electrosynthesis by dimerization of acrylonitrile CH2 = CH –C≡N, discovered at Monsanto :
2 CH 2 =CH–C≡N+ 2 e − + 2 H + → N≡C(–CH 2 ) 4 –C≡N.
