Benzonitrile,2-formyl-5-methyl-

Description:
Benzonitrile, 2-formyl-5-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 second position and a methyl group at the fifth position on the benzene ring 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 and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Benzonitrile derivatives are often used 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.
