3-Chloro-4-methylbenzonitrile

Description:

3-Chloro-4-methylbenzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom and a methyl group, as well as a nitrile functional group. The presence of the chlorine atom at the meta position relative to the nitrile group and the methyl group at the para position influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow solid or liquid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. 3-Chloro-4-methylbenzonitrile is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate measures should be followed to mitigate exposure.
