1. p-Tolunitrile CAS 104-85-8 is widely used as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for producing p-toluic acid, p-toluidine, and other aromatic derivatives via hydrolysis or reduction reactions.

2. p-Tolunitrile serves as a building block in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, aiding the synthesis of bioactive molecules (e.g., certain drugs and pesticide active ingredients) due to its tunable aromatic structure.

3. In material science, p-Tolunitrile CAS 104-85-8 is utilized in manufacturing specialty polymers and dyes, where its cyano group (-CN) enables targeted chemical modifications to enhance product properties.

1. Store p-Tolunitrile CAS 104-85-8 in a tightly sealed, glass or chemically resistant plastic container to prevent evaporation and exposure to air, as p-Tolunitrile may slowly degrade upon prolonged contact with oxygen.

2. Keep p-Tolunitrile in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, ignition points, and direct sunlight—high temperatures can increase volatility and flammability risks.

3. Isolate p-Tolunitrile CAS 104-85-8 from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases to avoid hazardous reactions (e.g., hydrolysis or oxidation), and label clearly with its name and hazard warnings (e.g., flammable, irritant).
