Tetramethylsuccinonitrile (CAT: L012480) is a sterically hindered dinitrile compound featuring two cyano groups attached to a tetramethyl-substituted butane backbone. Known for its thermal stability and radical-forming properties, TMSN is widely used as a radical initiator and polymerization inhibitor, particularly in styrene and acrylate systems. Its bulky methyl groups provide steric shielding, enhancing performance in free-radical chemistry and stabilizing reactive intermediates. TMSN also finds application in materials science, electronics, and organic synthesis.
