CAS 1885-38-7: (2E)-3-Phenyl-2-propenenitrile
Description:(2E)-3-Phenyl-2-propenenitrile, also known as cinnamyl cyanide, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a phenyl group attached to a propenenitrile moiety. This compound has a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms, contributing to its classification as an α,β-unsaturated nitrile. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. The presence of the nitrile functional group (-C≡N) imparts notable reactivity, making it useful in various organic synthesis applications, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, (2E)-3-Phenyl-2-propenenitrile can participate in Michael addition reactions and other nucleophilic additions due to the electrophilic nature of the double bond. Safety considerations include its potential irritant properties, necessitating proper handling and storage protocols to mitigate exposure risks.
