CLEAR YELLOW LIQUID | [Uses]
Dodecanenitrile possesses citrus, grape, and grapefruit fruity aromas and is used as a raw material for soaps, lotions, and cosmetic fragrances. It can act as a powerful aroma diffuser in soap fragrances and as a top note modifier in fragrances primarily composed of aldehydes, woody notes, citrus, or fresh scents. In colognes, it retains citrus and bergamot aromas, and works particularly well in men's tobacco, leather, and cologne formulas, with usage up to 5%. | [Definition]

It is common practise to name the Nitrile by the name of the acid which can be formed by acid hydrolysis of the Nitrile. The Nitriie with 12 Carbon atoms (total) will, therefore, be a DODECANOIC NITRILE or LAURIC NITRILE. It has ken suggested for use in perfume compositions as a powerful fragrance-diffusing agent in soap perfumes, and as a modifier in topnotc compositions where aldchydes, woodnotes or green notes are predominant. However, it does not perform like Dodecanal (Aldehyde C-12) and should not be considered as a replacement for that aldehyde. Dodecanenitrile is produced (many methods) e. g.: from Undecyl bromide and Potassium cyanide.
