CAS 6967-47-1

ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate

Description:

Ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate, with the CAS number 6967-47-1, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a pentanoate chain with a cyano group (-CN) attached to the second carbon. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a fruity odor, which is common among esters. Ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl chain. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the cyano group imparts unique reactivity, allowing for various chemical transformations. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials is recommended to maintain its stability and integrity.
