Description:3-Aminobenzonitrile, also known as meta-aminobenzonitrile, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C7H6N2, indicating it contains seven carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and two nitrogen atoms. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the amino group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. 3-Aminobenzonitrile is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. It exhibits properties such as moderate toxicity and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the electron-donating nature of the amino group and the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group, making it a valuable building block in organic synthesis.
