2-Methoxybenzonitrile

Description:

2-Methoxybenzonitrile, also known as o-methoxybenzonitrile, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and a nitrile group (-CN) attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular formula is C₈H₉NO, and it features a benzene ring substituted at the ortho position with a methoxy group and at the para position with a nitrile group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its aromatic properties and is used in various chemical syntheses, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2-Methoxybenzonitrile exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the methoxy and nitrile groups, which can influence its solubility in organic solvents. Additionally, it may participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the electron-donating nature of the methoxy group. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
