3-Chloro-2-methylbenzonitrile

Description:

3-Chloro-2-methylbenzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom and a nitrile group. The presence of the chloro group at the meta position and a methyl group at the ortho position relative to the nitrile group influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water, which is common for many nitriles. The compound may exhibit moderate toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it. Its applications can include use in organic synthesis, as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other specialty chemicals. As with many halogenated compounds, it is important to consider environmental and health impacts during its use and disposal.
