3-(2-Furanyl)-2-propenenitrile

Description:

3-(2-Furanyl)-2-propenenitrile, also known as furfuryl acrylonitrile, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring and acrylonitrile functional groups. It features a furan moiety, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing oxygen, attached to a propenenitrile group, making it a vinyl nitrile derivative. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its reactivity, particularly in polymerization reactions, where it can participate in various chemical transformations due to the presence of both the double bond and the nitrile group. The compound is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water. Its applications may include use in the synthesis of polymers, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. As with many nitriles, it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, necessitating appropriate handling and safety precautions in laboratory and industrial settings.
