CAS 17190-27-1: Pentanenitrile, 3-ethyl-3-hydroxy-

Description: 3-Ethyl-3-hydroxy-pentanenitrile, with the CAS number 17190-27-1, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, including a nitrile (-C≡N) and a hydroxyl (-OH) group, along with a pentane backbone. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The presence of the ethyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its solubility and reactivity. It may exhibit moderate volatility and can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions, owing to its functional groups. The compound's properties, such as boiling point and melting point, are influenced by intermolecular forces, including hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group. As with many nitriles, it may also exhibit toxicity and should be handled with care in laboratory settings. Its applications can range from use in organic synthesis to potential roles in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, depending on its reactivity and functionalization.
