One common method for epoxidation using CH3CN as a solvent is the Sharpless epoxidation, which involves using a catalytic amount of a titanium-based catalyst and a chiral ligand. Another option is the m-CPBA (meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid) epoxidation where the epoxidizing agent is added to the reaction mixture in CH3CN. It is important to ensure compatibility of the solvent with the reagents and conditions of the chosen epoxidation procedure.
CH3CH2CH3 (propane) has a lower boiling point than CH3CN (acetonitrile) because CH3CN has stronger dipole-dipole interactions due to its polar cyano group. This results in higher intermolecular forces in CH3CN, leading to a higher boiling point compared to propane.
It is called a solvent, the substance being dissolved is a solute.
The solvent dissolves the solute. (The solute dissolves in the solvent.)
Solvent
It is nonpolar
The carbon atom in CH3CN is sp hybridized.
CH3CN is not an acid. It is a nitrile compound, also known as acetonitrile, which is a weak base in water.

Yes, acetonitrile is an organic compound. It is a colorless liquid with a chemical formula CH3CN, consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen atoms. It is commonly used as a polar aprotic solvent in various chemical reactions.
No. CH_3CN does NOT dissociate into ions in water
This compound is an active homogeneous epoxidation catalyst in its own right.
Tetrahedral. C connects to 3 H's and one C
CH3NH2 is both a nucleophile and an electrophile. It can act as a nucleophile by donating its lone pair of electrons to form a new bond. It can also act as an electrophile by accepting electrons from a nucleophile to form a new bond.
