4-Methylphenylacetonitrile

Description:
4-Methylphenylacetonitrile, also known by its CAS number 2947-61-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a nitrile functional group attached to a phenyl ring that is further substituted with a methyl group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It has a relatively low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of the nitrile group imparts notable chemical reactivity, making it useful in various synthetic applications, particularly in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 4-Methylphenylacetonitrile exhibits moderate volatility and can be handled with standard laboratory precautions. Its molecular structure contributes to its unique physical and chemical properties, including its boiling point, melting point, and density, which are relevant for its applications in chemical processes.
