(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile

Description:
(5-Methylpyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile, with the CAS number 38203-08-6, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a methyl group at the 5-position of the pyridine ring and an acetonitrile functional group attached to the 2-position. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the nitrile group (-C≡N) contributes to its polar nature, making it soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols. This compound may exhibit biological activity and is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and substitutions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
