2-Amino-2-methylbutanenitrile

Description:

2-Amino-2-methylbutanenitrile, with the CAS number 4475-95-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group and a nitrile functional group. It features a branched aliphatic structure, specifically a butane backbone with a methyl group and an amino group attached to the second carbon, along with a nitrile group (-C≡N) at the same position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the amino group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The nitrile group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2-amino-2-methylbutanenitrile may exhibit basic properties due to the amino group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2-Amino-2-methylbutanenitrile (2AMB) is an organic compound that is insoluble in water or alcohol. 2AMB is a colorless liquid with a strong, unpleasant odor. It has been used as a solvent and in the manufacture of other chemicals. The symptoms of 2AMB exposure include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Chronic exposure to high levels of 2AMB can cause liver damage, kidney damage, and bladder cancer. There have been reports of outbreaks of 2AMB poisoning from the use of contaminated drinking water. Chromatography has revealed the presence of 2AMB in urine samples from patients with neuropathic bladder syndrome. This chemical is metabolized by deamination to form ethylmalonic acid and methylglyoxal which are then excreted in the urine. Ethanol extracts from plants were shown to be effective against viruses such as HIV-1 and HIV-2 and some organisms such as Cand
