2,6-Dimethylbenzeneacetonitrile

Description:
2,6-Dimethylbenzeneacetonitrile, also known as 2,6-dimethylphenylacetonitrile, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of a nitrile functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with two methyl groups at the 2 and 6 positions, along with an acetonitrile group (-C≡N) attached to the benzene. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its moderate polarity and can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2,6-Dimethylbenzeneacetonitrile may exhibit specific physical properties such as boiling and melting points that are influenced by its molecular structure. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
