CAS 542-76-7

3-Chloropropanenitrile

Description:

3-Chloropropanenitrile, with the CAS number 542-76-7, is an organic compound characterized by its nitrile and halogen functional groups. It features a three-carbon chain with a chlorine atom attached to the second carbon and a cyano group (-C≡N) at the end of the chain. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pungent odor. It is soluble in polar organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the carbon chain. 3-Chloropropanenitrile is used in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its reactivity and ability to serve as a building block for more complex molecules. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance in a laboratory or industrial setting.

3-Chloropropiononitrile

CAS: 542-76-7

3-Chloropropiononitrile is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits bacterial growth by reacting with the hydroxyl group in the cytoplasmic membrane. This reaction produces hydrogen chloride and hydrochloric acid, which kills bacteria. 3-Chloropropiononitrile has been shown to be effective against a wide range of bacteria including Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is also used as a preservative for food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The mechanism of action for this drug is similar to that of other antibacterial agents such as chlorine, chloramine T, and sodium dichloroisocyanurate. 3-Chloropropiononitrile has been shown to inhibit population growth in vitro when used in concentrations between 0.1% and 1%.
