Description:3-Ethoxypropanenitrile, with the CAS number 2141-62-0, is an organic compound characterized by its nitrile functional group and an ethoxy substituent. It features a three-carbon chain (propanenitrile) with an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) attached to the third carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature and has a moderate boiling point, indicative of its molecular weight and structure. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the ethoxy group. 3-Ethoxypropanenitrile is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many nitriles, it may exhibit toxicity and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. Its reactivity can include nucleophilic addition reactions, making it a versatile building block in various chemical transformations.
