Adiponitrile is an Organic Compound with the chemical formula (CH2)4(CN)4. This Dinitrile, viscous, colourless Liquid is an important Precursor to the Polymer Nylon 66. Because of the industrial value of Adiponitrile, many methods have been developed for its Synthesis. The majority of Adiponitrile is prepared by the Nickel-catalysed Hydrocyanation of Butadiene, as discovered at DuPont, pioneered by Drinkard. The other major industrial route involves Hydrodimerization, starting from Acrylonitrile. This Electrolytic Coupling of Acrylonitrile was discovered at Monsanto Company. Amost all Adiponitrile is hydrogenated to 1,6-Diaminohexane for the production of Nylon 66.
