CAS 56153-61-8
:2-(Phenylmethyl)benzonitrile
Description:
2-(Phenylmethyl)benzonitrile, also known by its CAS number 56153-61-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a benzonitrile and a phenylmethyl group. This compound features a benzene ring attached to a nitrile group (–C≡N) and a phenylmethyl (benzyl) substituent, which contributes to its aromatic nature. The molecular structure imparts certain physical properties, such as a relatively high melting point and boiling point compared to aliphatic compounds, due to the stability provided by the aromatic rings. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the nitrile functional group suggests potential reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions. Additionally, 2-(Phenylmethyl)benzonitrile may be of interest in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis, due to its structural features that can influence biological activity and chemical reactivity. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
