CAS 529-19-1: 2-Methylbenzonitrile

Description: 2-Methylbenzonitrile, also known as o-tolunitrile, is an aromatic nitrile characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and a cyano group at the ortho position. Its molecular formula is C9H9N, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 145.17 g/mol. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. 2-Methylbenzonitrile is used in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. It exhibits properties typical of nitriles, such as being polar and capable of participating in nucleophilic reactions. Additionally, it has a relatively low boiling point and can be handled with standard safety precautions, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances is recommended to ensure stability and safety.
