2,2-DIMETHYL-SUCCINALDEHYDONITRILE

Description:

2,2-Dimethyl-succinaldehydonitrile, with the CAS number 18240-73-8, is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a succinaldehyde moiety and two methyl groups attached to the second carbon. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions due to the presence of the aldehyde functional group and the nitrile group, which can participate in various chemical transformations. The presence of the dimethyl substituents can influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, making it more hydrophobic compared to its non-substituted counterparts. Additionally, 2,2-Dimethyl-succinaldehydonitrile may exhibit interesting biological activities, although specific studies on its toxicity and environmental impact are limited. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential hazards associated with its chemical reactivity.

2,2-Dimethyl-4-oxobutanenitrile is an alkaloid that is extracted from the bark of the Cinchona tree. The extraction process is done by mixing the bark with ethanol and then boiling it in a solution of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and water. The resulting mixture contains many different alkaloids, including 2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanenitrile. Tetramethyluric acid, one of the other alkaloids present in this mixture, can be used to prepare a purple dye called Tyrian purple. Purines are also present in this mixture and are precursors for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA.
