Nitrile o - hydroxy - m - aminobenzonitrile. CjHgONg. MW, 144. Prisms. M.p. 145° de-comp. Phototropic. B,HCl plates from EtOH-EtjO. Decomp, at 130°. 

Figure 3.12 Metabolic profiling by capillary electrophoresis, (a) Comparative carbohydrate profiles of M. truncatula tissue obtained using 4-aminobenzonitrile derivatization, capillary electrophoresis with a 150 mM borate buffer, pH = 9, and on-column UV detection at 214 nm. (b) Anion profile from M. truncatula using capillary electrophoresis and indirect UV detection. The separation buffer was 5 mM K2C1O4, 1% Waters OFM-Anion BT, pH 8.0.
