CAS 10264-14-9

N-(Phenylmethyl)butanamide

Description:

N-(Phenylmethyl)butanamide, also known by its CAS number 10264-14-9, is an organic compound characterized by its amide functional group, which is derived from butanoic acid and phenylmethylamine. This compound features a butanamide backbone, where a phenylmethyl (benzyl) group is attached to the nitrogen atom of the amide. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. The presence of both hydrophobic (the phenyl group) and hydrophilic (the amide group) characteristics contributes to its potential solubility in various organic solvents while being less soluble in water. N-(Phenylmethyl)butanamide may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its molecular structure allows for potential interactions with biological systems, which could lead to various applications in medicinal chemistry. As with many amides, it may also participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
