Benzonitrile,5-formyl-2-methyl-

Description:
Benzonitrile, 5-formyl-2-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzonitrile group, which consists of a benzene ring attached to a nitrile (–C≡N) functional group, along with a formyl (–CHO) and a methyl (–CH3) substituent. This compound features a carbonyl group (from the formyl) that is typically reactive, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including condensation and nucleophilic addition. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its polarity and potential solubility in polar solvents. Benzonitrile derivatives often exhibit interesting properties such as fluorescence and can be utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as intermediates in the production of other chemicals. The specific arrangement of substituents on the benzene ring influences its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
