CAS 2856-63-5

(2-Chlorophenyl)acetonitrile

Description:

(2-Chlorophenyl)acetonitrile, with the CAS number 2856-63-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a chlorinated phenyl group attached to an acetonitrile moiety. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is known for its moderate polarity, which allows it to dissolve in various organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The presence of the nitrile functional group (-C≡N) imparts notable reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of other chemical compounds through nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, the chlorophenyl group can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. (2-Chlorophenyl)acetonitrile is often utilized in the pharmaceutical industry and in the synthesis of agrochemicals. Safety considerations include handling it with care due to potential toxicity and irritant properties, necessitating appropriate safety measures during use and storage.

2-Chlorobenzyl cyanide

CAS: 2856-63-5

2-Chlorobenzyl cyanide (2CBA) is a disinfectant that has been used as an alternative to chlorine. It is not only effective against bacteria, but also against fungi, viruses, and parasites. 2CBA functions by the aerobic photooxidation of cells in water or air. In addition to its antimicrobial activity, 2CBA is also toxic to human ovary cells at high concentrations.
2CBA has a number of isomers, which differ in their solubility and ph-optimum. The most common form of 2CBA is the cis form, which has a higher solubility than the trans form. The cis form can be synthesized from benzyl chloride and sodium cyanide with sulfonation as the final step in production.
2CBA has an optimum ph value of 5-6 for its disinfectant activity; however, it can be used at a concentration of 1% at pH values below 5 or above 7
