CAS 613-90-1

Benzoyl cyanide

Description:

Benzoyl cyanide, with the CAS number 613-90-1, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups of both a benzoyl and a cyanide moiety. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. This compound is known for its reactivity, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions due to the presence of the electron-withdrawing cyanide group, which enhances the electrophilic character of the carbonyl carbon. Benzoyl cyanide is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and acetone but has limited solubility in water. It is primarily used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to its cyanide content, it is considered toxic and poses health risks if ingested or inhaled, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures in laboratory settings. Additionally, it can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of benzoyl acid and hydrogen cyanide, which further emphasizes the need for caution when working with this compound.
