CAS 540-61-4

Aminoacetonitrile

Description:

Aminoacetonitrile, with the CAS number 540-61-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to a two-carbon chain. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. This compound is soluble in water and polar organic solvents, making it versatile for various chemical reactions. Aminoacetonitrile is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Its reactivity is largely attributed to the amino and nitrile functional groups, which can participate in nucleophilic substitutions and other transformations. Additionally, it is important to handle aminoacetonitrile with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.
