1,4-Dicyanobenzene is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₄(CN)₂. Two other isomers exist, phthalonitrile and isophthalonitrile. All three isomers are produced commercially by ammoxidation of the corresponding xylene isomers. 1,4-Dicyanobenzene is a colorless or white solid with low solubility in water.[1] Hydrogenation of isophthalonitrile affords p-xylylenediamine.

Safety

LD50 (rat, oral) is 6400 mg/kg.

gollark: There is no escape.

gollark: You cannot.

gollark: Water is also free.

gollark: Cobble is basically free given a cheap machine for its production.

gollark: Don't earn at the Sellshop. It is a bad deal. Unless the prices were tweaked a lot.
