2-Methoxybenzeneacetonitrile

Description:

2-Methoxybenzeneacetonitrile, also known as anisylacetonitrile, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a methoxy group and a nitrile functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with a methoxy group (–OCH3) at the ortho position relative to the acetonitrile group (–C≡N). This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is moderately soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2-Methoxybenzeneacetonitrile may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.

2-Methoxyphenylacetonitrile

CAS: 7035-03-2

2-Methoxyphenylacetonitrile is a chemical that is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. It has antibacterial activity and can be used to treat typhoid fever, staphylococcal infections, and mental disorders such as schizophrenia. 2-Methoxyphenylacetonitrile is an alkylating agent that reacts with nucleophiles in proteins, DNA, and RNA. These reactions lead to the destruction of the bacterial cell wall and inhibition of protein synthesis. The mechanism by which 2-methoxyphenylacetonitrile exerts its antibacterial effect may involve formation of a reactive intermediate that inhibits bacterial ribonucleotide reductase. The addition of an electron to this intermediate leads to the formation of a covalent bond with one or more amino acids in the protein acceptor, thereby preventing further growth and division of bacteria.
