Cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 1-methyl-

Description:

Cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 1-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by a cyclohexane ring with a cyano group (-C≡N) and a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to it. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has a distinctive odor. It is classified as a nitrile, which indicates the presence of the cyano functional group, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of the methyl group influences its physical properties, such as boiling point and solubility, making it more hydrophobic. Cyclohexanecarbonitrile, 1-methyl- may be utilized in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its safety profile should be considered, as nitriles can be toxic and may pose health risks upon exposure. Proper handling and storage conditions are essential to ensure safety in laboratory or industrial settings.
