Description:
3-Oxo-2-phenylpropanenitrile, with the CAS number 5841-70-3, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, including a ketone (the 3-oxo group) and a nitrile (the cyano group). This compound features a phenyl group attached to a propanoyl chain, contributing to its aromatic properties. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of the nitrile group imparts notable reactivity, allowing for various chemical transformations, such as nucleophilic additions. Additionally, the compound may exhibit moderate solubility in polar organic solvents, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. Its structure suggests potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling 3-oxo-2-phenylpropanenitrile, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled. Proper storage conditions are also essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
