APAAN oil

Description

APAAN oil

APAAN oil. APAAN (Alpha-Phenylacetoacetonitrile) Oil is a chemical precursor primarily known for its role in organic synthesis. It is often encountered in liquid form when dissolved in solvents or under specific temperature conditions. While APAAN is typically found as a solid crystalline powder, it can appear as an oil-like liquid due to processing variations or impurities.
