CAS 532-28-5

Mandelonitrile

Description:

Mandelonitrile, with the CAS number 532-28-5, is an organic compound characterized by its cyanohydrin structure, specifically derived from benzaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive almond-like odor, which is attributed to its structural similarity to benzaldehyde. The compound is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions, due to the presence of both a nitrile and a hydroxyl group. Mandelonitrile is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile in various chemical applications. It is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, mandelonitrile can undergo hydrolysis to yield mandelic acid, further expanding its utility in chemical processes. However, it should be handled with care due to its potential toxicity and the presence of cyanide, which poses health risks. Proper safety measures and protocols are essential when working with this compound in laboratory or industrial settings.

Mandelonitrile is a chemical compound that is used as an intermediate in the production of other chemicals. It can be synthesized from sodium carbonate and hydrogen cyanide using an intramolecular hydrogen transfer reaction. Mandelonitrile is commonly used as a precursor to acetic acid, which is the main ingredient in vinegar. This compound has been shown to have enzyme inhibitory activity against plant enzymes such as phosphofructokinase, acetolactate synthase, and malic enzyme. Mandelonitrile also exhibits antibacterial properties against Group P2 bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The optimum pH for this reaction is 2-3. Kinetic studies have shown that the rate of the reaction increases with increasing temperature, but decreases with increasing pH.
