methyl (4-cyanophenyl)acetate

Description:
Methyl (4-cyanophenyl)acetate, with the CAS number 52798-01-3, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional group. It features a methyl ester derived from the acetic acid and a 4-cyanophenyl group, which contributes to its chemical properties. The presence of the cyano group (-CN) enhances its polarity and can influence its reactivity, making it useful in various synthetic applications. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic methyl ester component. Methyl (4-cyanophenyl)acetate can be utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its ability to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
