3-(Methylamino)propanenitrile

Description:

3-(Methylamino)propanenitrile, also known by its CAS number 693-05-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a nitrile group and a methylamino group. Its molecular structure consists of a three-carbon chain (propanenitrile) with a methylamino group (-NH(CH3)2) attached to the second carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is polar due to the presence of the nitrile and amine functional groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. 3-(Methylamino)propanenitrile is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various chemical reactions. It is primarily used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. As with many nitriles, it may exhibit toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it. Its reactivity can include nucleophilic addition reactions, making it a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry.

Formamide is a colorless gas with a pungent, irritating odor. It is used as an antiseptic and an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. Formamide has been shown to be effective against animal-derived pathogens such as Covid-19 and influenza A/H5N1, and it has been proposed as a potential treatment for pandemic influenza. Formamide reacts with chlorine to produce formate salt (formic acid), which can then be converted into amines or hexamethylphosphoramide. The reaction rate of formamide increases with increasing temperature, but decreases with increasing concentration of hydrogen.
Formamide is also used as a solvent in microscopy to dissolve tissue samples for analysis by electron microscopy techniques.
