2-(Methoxymethyl)benzonitrile

Description:
2-(Methoxymethyl)benzonitrile, with the CAS number 57991-54-5, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a methoxymethyl group and a nitrile functional group. The methoxymethyl group (-OCH2-CH3) contributes to its reactivity and solubility properties, while the nitrile group (-C≡N) is known for its polar nature and ability to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and dichloromethane but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. 2-(Methoxymethyl)benzonitrile may be utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, owing to its functional groups that can undergo further chemical transformations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
