2-Bromo-4-methylbenzonitrile

Description:

2-Bromo-4-methylbenzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a bromine atom and a nitrile functional group. The compound features a benzene ring substituted with a bromine atom at the second position and a methyl group at the fourth position, along with a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the benzene ring. This structure contributes to its chemical properties, including moderate polarity due to the presence of the nitrile group. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a crystalline form. The compound is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group and the electron-donating properties of the methyl group, which can affect its behavior in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
