CAS 31603-77-7

Biphenylacetonitrile

Description:

Biphenylacetonitrile, with the CAS number 31603-77-7, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure attached to an acetonitrile functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The compound is known for its aromatic properties due to the presence of the biphenyl moiety, which contributes to its stability and potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Biphenylacetonitrile is generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the presence of the nitrile group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and substitutions. Safety data indicates that, like many nitriles, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and irritant properties. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.

Biphenylacetonitrile is an organic compound that belongs to the group of reactive functional groups and is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, likely due to its ability to react with sulfamates. Biphenylacetonitrile inhibits the production of the inflammatory mediator nitric oxide by reacting with trifluoroacetic acid, which may be useful for treating inflammatory diseases such as endometriosis. This drug also has an inhibitory effect on fatty acid metabolism and can thus be used for treating diabetes patients.
