Acetonitrile, known by its chemical formula CH3CN, is a polar organic solvent utilized in DNA synthesis. It is alternatively referred to as methyl cyanide, representing a compound where a methyl group substitutes for a hydrogen atom in hydrogen cyanide. This solvent is characterized as a water-miscible polar aprotic solvent and finds numerous applications in laboratory settings. In various industrial processes, acetonitrile serves as a prevalent mobile phase solvent in both analytical and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
