β-Aminobenzenepropanenitrile, also known as 3-aminobenzyl cyanide, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group and a nitrile group attached to a propyl chain linked to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted with an amino group at the meta position relative to the propyl chain, which terminates in a nitrile functional group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the amino and nitrile groups. β-Aminobenzenepropanenitrile may be used in various chemical syntheses, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As with many nitriles, it may pose health risks, including toxicity and potential irritant effects, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in laboratory or industrial settings.

3-Amino-3-phenylpropanenitrile is a monocarboxylic acid derivative. It is synthesized by reacting acrylonitrile with an excess of benzonitrile in the presence of a base, followed by treatment with an oxidizing agent. 3-Amino-3-phenylpropanenitrile has been shown to undergo protonation and form an amide linkage with dimethylformamide, which may be useful for preparative purposes. The compound class includes other compounds such as benzamide, 2-aminoethanol, and 2-aminophenol.
