2,3-Dichloropropanenitrile

Description:

2,3-Dichloropropanenitrile, with the CAS number 2601-89-0, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a three-carbon chain (propane) with two chlorine atoms and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its moderate volatility and solubility in organic solvents. It exhibits a relatively low boiling point compared to larger organic molecules, making it useful in various chemical applications. The presence of chlorine atoms contributes to its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the nitrile group can participate in further chemical transformations, such as hydrolysis or reduction. 2,3-Dichloropropanenitrile is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. However, it is essential to handle this compound with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with chlorinated organic compounds. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
