2-Methyl-α-oxobenzeneacetonitrile

Description:

2-Methyl-α-oxobenzeneacetonitrile, also known by its CAS number 5955-73-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with a methyl group and an acetonitrile functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its moderate polarity, which allows it to dissolve in various organic solvents while being less soluble in water. The presence of both the ketone and nitrile functional groups contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2-Methyl-α-oxobenzeneacetonitrile may exhibit biological activity, although specific biological properties would require further investigation. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
