CAS 2570-96-9
:2-Methyloctanenitrile
Description:
2-Methyloctanenitrile, with the CAS number 2570-96-9, is an organic compound belonging to the nitrile functional group. It features a linear octane chain with a methyl group attached to the second carbon, resulting in a branched structure. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic nature due to the long carbon chain, which contributes to its relatively low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the nitrile group (-C≡N) imparts unique chemical properties, including the ability to participate in nucleophilic reactions and serve as a precursor for various synthetic pathways. 2-Methyloctanenitrile is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and may have a faint odor. Its boiling point and melting point are influenced by the molecular structure and intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals interactions. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and may be utilized in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other industrial applications. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as nitriles can be toxic and pose health risks.

2-Methyloctanenitrile
CAS:2-Methyloctanenitrile is an oxime that can be hydrocyanated to produce a regioselective addition product. This reaction is catalyzed by the presence of hydroxylamine, which acts as a ligand in the transition state. The reaction proceeds with anti-markovnikov selectivity, which is due to the hydroxyl group on the methyl group. This reaction has been optimized for frequency and rates of reaction, and can be used with aldoximes as well.
