Benzonitrile,4-mercapto-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 4-mercapto- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a nitrile group (-C≡N) and a thiol group (-SH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a mercapto group at the para position relative to the nitrile group, which influences its chemical reactivity and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the thiol group imparts notable characteristics, such as the ability to form disulfide bonds and participate in redox reactions. Benzonitrile, 4-mercapto- is soluble in organic solvents and can undergo various chemical transformations, including nucleophilic substitutions and oxidation reactions. Its unique structure makes it useful in organic synthesis and as a potential intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as thiols can be toxic and have strong odors.

4-Mercaptobenzonitrile

CAS: 36801-01-1

4-mercaptobenzonitrile (4MBN) is a typical compound used in many spectroscopic experiments. The addition of 4-mercaptobenzonitrile to metal surfaces is used to create self-assembled monolayers with metals. For numerous reasons, it can difficult to immbolize certain chemical groups on surfaces. The addition of 4-mercaptobenzonitrile forms a modified metal surface that enhances technique sensitivity and serves as tool for a better understanding of the interfaces. In recent years, the use of 4-mercaptobenzonitrile together with other molecules on metal nanoparticles has been explored for biomedicinal purposes, serving as a tool for creating surface-enhanced Raman scattering tags (SER tags), useful as cancer biomarker imaging (Li, 2018).
