General description

1,1′-Azobis(cyclohexanecarbonitrile) (AHCN) is a thermally stable initiator that can be used in free-radical polymerization. It is soluble in a variety of solvents such as methanol, dimethylformamide (DMF), etc.

Application

A more efficient radical initiator than AIBN has been employed to initiate primary radical reactions.
