4-Cyano-1-butyne is an organic compound characterized by its alkyne functional group, specifically a terminal alkyne due to the presence of a triple bond between the first and second carbon atoms in the butyne chain. Its molecular formula is C4H5N, indicating that it contains four carbon atoms, five hydrogen atoms, and one nitrogen atom. The presence of the cyano group (-C≡N) at the fourth carbon position contributes to its reactivity and makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 4-Cyano-1-butyne is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is flammable and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. Its reactivity can be attributed to both the alkyne and cyano functionalities, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions.
