11-Dodecenenitrile

Description:

11-Dodecenenitrile, with the CAS number 5048-44-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aliphatic structure featuring a long carbon chain and a nitrile functional group. It is classified as an unsaturated nitrile due to the presence of a double bond between the 11th and 12th carbon atoms in the dodecane chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a relatively low boiling point, which is common for similar organic compounds. Its molecular structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in addition reactions typical of alkenes. 11-Dodecenenitrile is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of specialty chemicals. Additionally, its properties may include moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is characteristic of long-chain nitriles. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
