CAS 17201-43-3

4-Cyanobenzyl bromide

Description:

4-Cyanobenzyl bromide, with the CAS number 17201-43-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a cyanobenzyl group and a bromine atom. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with a cyano group (-CN) at the para position and a bromomethyl group (-CH2Br) attached to the benzene. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the cyano group contributes to its polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding, while the bromine atom enhances its electrophilic character. Safety considerations include handling it in a well-ventilated area and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as it may pose health risks upon exposure. Overall, 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide is a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry.

4-Cyanobenzyl bromide

CAS: 17201-43-3

4-Cyanobenzyl bromide is a chemical compound that is stable in the presence of hydrogen bonds and with a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction. It has been shown to react with amines to form an azobenzene, which is a fluorescent compound. 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide reacts with x-ray diffraction data and molecular modeling to form halides and hydroxy groups. The mechanism of this reaction is not yet known, but it appears that the initial step involves the formation of a hydrogen bond between the 4-cyanobenzyl group and the amine. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has confirmed that hippuric acid can be formed from this reaction as well.
