Description:Isophthalonitrile, with the CAS number 626-17-5, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring with two cyano groups (-C≡N) positioned at the 1,3-positions, making it a derivative of phthalic acid. This compound is typically a white to light yellow crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol. Isophthalonitrile is known for its high melting point and stability under various conditions. It is primarily used in the synthesis of polymers, particularly in the production of high-performance materials and resins. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes and pharmaceuticals. The presence of cyano groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and polymerization processes. Due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, handling is recommended with appropriate safety precautions.
