Description:Benzonitrile, with the CAS number 100-47-0, is an aromatic nitrile characterized by the presence of a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive almond-like odor. Benzonitrile is known for its relatively high boiling point and moderate solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a molecular formula of C7H5N and a molecular weight of approximately 103.12 g/mol. This compound is primarily used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Benzonitrile exhibits low toxicity, but it can be irritating to the skin and eyes. Its chemical stability and ability to participate in various reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions, make it a valuable compound in chemical research and industrial applications.
