2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzonitrile

Description:
2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzonitrile, with the CAS number 53005-44-0, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 2 and 6 positions, respectively, along with a nitrile group (-CN) at the 1 position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is known for its moderate polarity due to the presence of the nitrile and methoxy functional groups, which can influence its solubility in various organic solvents. The compound may exhibit interesting chemical reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, due to the electron-donating nature of the methoxy group and the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group. Additionally, 2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzonitrile may have applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
