2-Methoxy-5-pyrimidineacetonitrile

Description:

2-Methoxy-5-pyrimidineacetonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its pyrimidine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing nitrogen atoms. The presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 2-position and a nitrile group (-C≡N) at the 5-position contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is soluble in polar organic solvents, which enhances its utility in various chemical reactions and applications. The nitrile functional group indicates that it can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, while the methoxy group can influence the compound's reactivity and polarity. 2-Methoxy-5-pyrimidineacetonitrile may be used in pharmaceutical synthesis, agrochemical development, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as compounds containing nitriles can be toxic and require appropriate safety measures.
