CAS 140-29-4: Phenylacetonitrile

Description: Phenylacetonitrile, with the CAS number 140-29-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a phenyl group attached to an acetonitrile moiety. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. This compound is known for its moderate polarity and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water. Phenylacetonitrile is primarily utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to serve as a versatile building block in various chemical reactions. It exhibits a boiling point that is higher than that of many simple nitriles, reflecting its larger molecular structure. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it can be toxic and may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with phenylacetonitrile in laboratory or industrial settings.
