n. An organic cyanide containing a CN group.

n. any of a class of organic compounds containing a cyano functional group -C≡N

n. Any one of a series of compounds bearing the cyanide radical (-CN); particularly, one of those cyanides of alcohol radicals which, by boiling with acids or alkalies, produce a carboxyl acid, with the elimination of the nitrogen as ammonia.

n. In organic chemistry, the class-name of compounds which contain the univalent radical -C: N. They are prepared by the action of alkyl haloids on potassium cyanide and, in some cases, by the dehydration of organic ammonium salts into which they are reconverted by the action of acids or alkalies. They are also called acid nitriles or alkyl cyanides. Occasionally tertiary amines (R3N) are called nitrile bases.

n. any of a class of organic compounds containing the cyano radical -CN

"Made of a synthetic material called nitrile, it is less expensive – about $2 each – and not noisy."
