2-Ethylbutanenitrile, with the CAS number 617-80-1, is an organic compound classified as a nitrile. It features a butane backbone with an ethyl group at the second carbon and a cyano group (-CN) attached to the terminal carbon. This compound is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and possesses a characteristic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the hydrocarbon chain. 2-Ethylbutanenitrile is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Its chemical properties include a relatively high boiling point compared to alkanes of similar molecular weight, attributed to the presence of the polar nitrile group, which can engage in dipole-dipole interactions. Safety considerations include handling it in well-ventilated areas and using appropriate personal protective equipment, as nitriles can be toxic and irritant.
