(2E)-4-chloro-3-methylbut-2-enenitrile

Description:

(2E)-4-chloro-3-methylbut-2-enenitrile, with the CAS number 4450-34-4, is an organic compound characterized by its unsaturated nitrile structure. It features a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms, a chlorine substituent at the fourth carbon, and a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the terminal carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its reactivity due to the presence of both the double bond and the nitrile functional group. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate polarity. The presence of the chlorine atom can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and additions. Additionally, due to its structural features, it may have applications in organic synthesis and the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many nitriles, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
