Propanenitrile, 2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-

Description:

Propanenitrile, 2-amino-3-hydroxy-2-methyl- (CAS 122556-12-1) is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, including an amino group (-NH2), a hydroxyl group (-OH), and a nitrile group (-C≡N). This compound features a propanenitrile backbone with a methyl group and hydroxyl group attached to the second carbon, contributing to its structural complexity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of the amino and hydroxyl groups suggests that it may exhibit both basic and acidic properties, allowing for potential interactions in various chemical reactions. Additionally, the nitrile group can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions, making this compound of interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Its solubility in polar solvents is likely due to the hydroxyl group, while the nitrile group may enhance its reactivity. Overall, this compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
