2-Chloro-6-methylbenzonitrile

Description:

2-Chloro-6-methylbenzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both a chlorine atom and a nitrile group. The presence of the chloro group at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 6-position of the benzene ring contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. 2-Chloro-6-methylbenzonitrile is utilized in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group and the electronegative chlorine atom, making it a useful building block in organic synthesis. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
