2,3-Dimethylbutanedinitrile, CAS 16411-13-5, is also known as 2,3-dimethylsuccinonitrile or 2,3-dicyanobutane. It is a defined organic intermediate evaluated for specialty organic synthesis and analytical evaluation. Procurement should define assay, isomer profile, related impurities, water, residual solvents, required quantity, packaging, destination and documents before sample or quotation review.

Applications and Grade Selection
2,3-Dimethylbutanedinitrile is evaluated for specialty organic synthesis and analytical evaluation. Grade selection should be based on assay, isomer profile, related impurities, water, residual solvents and application testing, not on a generic purity, grade or performance claim.
Storage and Packaging
Sealed packaging, light protection and temperature conditions must match the offered physical form and current SDS/TDS.
Safety and Documentation
Review the current SDS before handling 2,3-Dimethylbutanedinitrile. Confirm hazards, PPE, incompatibilities, emergency measures, transport classification and receiving-site controls for the exact supplied form; the product page is not a substitute for lot and shipment documents.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Are 2,3-Dimethylbutanedinitrile and 2,3-Dimethylsuccinonitrile the same substance?
A: Yes. Both names can identify CAS 16411-13-5 and formula C₆H₈N₂. A generic dimethylsuccinonitrile description may not establish the substitution positions, so match the complete name, CAS number, formula and an agreed chromatographic or spectroscopic identity result. -
Q:
Which release data should be requested for 2,3-Dimethylbutanedinitrile?
A: Define assay and method, positional or stereochemical composition if process-relevant, related nitriles, residual starting materials, water, residual solvents, appearance and melting behavior where applicable. State quantity, package, destination and intended synthesis step, then assess the offered lot against its COA.
