Description:Mesitonitrile, also known as 2,4,6-trimethylbenzonitrile, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of a nitrile functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with three methyl groups at the 2, 4, and 6 positions, along with a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the aromatic system. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Mesitonitrile is known for its relatively high boiling point and moderate solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a solvent and in organic synthesis. Its chemical stability and reactivity are influenced by the presence of the nitrile group, which can participate in nucleophilic addition reactions. Safety considerations are important when handling mesitonitrile, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage and handling procedures should be followed to minimize exposure.
