biphenyl-2,2'-dicarbonitrile

Description:
Biphenyl-2,2'-dicarbonitrile, with the CAS number 4341-02-0, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of two cyano (-CN) groups at the 2 and 2' positions of the biphenyl framework contributes to its chemical properties. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and is known for its stability and relatively low volatility. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of dyes and pharmaceuticals. The cyano groups impart significant polarity and can participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic additions. Additionally, biphenyl-2,2'-dicarbonitrile may exhibit interesting electronic properties due to the conjugation between the cyano groups and the aromatic rings, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many nitriles, due to potential toxicity.
