Benzonitrile, 4-formyl-3-methyl-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 4-formyl-3-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a nitrile group (-C≡N) and an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) attached to a benzene ring. The presence of the formyl group at the para position and a methyl group at the meta position relative to the nitrile group contributes to its unique reactivity and properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Benzonitrile derivatives are often utilized in organic synthesis and can serve as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. The compound's reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.

4-Formyl-3-methylbenzonitrile

CAS: 27609-91-2

4-Formyl-3-methylbenzonitrile is a glutamate antagonist that binds to metabotropic glutamate receptors, which inhibit the release of glutamate. It has been shown to be a potent and selective antagonist at mGluR1, with an IC50 of 3.3 μM. The potency of this drug was found to be 10 times lower than that of LY354740, another mGluR1 antagonist. Substituents on the 4-formyl group have been shown to affect the binding affinity and potency of this compound.
