Abstract
3-Hydroxypropionitrile(HPN) is an important intermediate in organic synthesis of medicines,pesticides and macromolecules.It can be used in synthesis of antitumor medicine cyclophosphamide as well as propranolol and segontin,which are the medicines for treating cardiovascular diseases.This article summarizes not only the applications of 3-hydroxypropionitrile in medicines but also the primary methods for its synthesis and detection.We also look forward to the promising application of HPN in the future.
