CAS 57413-39-5

Benzonitrile, 4-(dimethylamino)-2-methyl-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 4-(dimethylamino)-2-methyl-, also known by its CAS number 57413-39-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzonitrile moiety with a dimethylamino group and a methyl substituent on the aromatic ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents. Its structure features a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential applications in various fields, including organic synthesis and as a solvent. The dimethylamino group enhances its basicity and can influence its electronic properties, making it useful in dye chemistry and as a potential intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the presence of both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups in its structure can affect its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
