2-(Cycloheptylamino)acetonitrile

Description:

2-(Cycloheptylamino)acetonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its unique structure, which includes a cycloheptyl group attached to an amino group and a nitrile functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in polar organic solvents, reflecting its polar nitrile group, while its cycloheptyl moiety contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics. The presence of the amino group allows for potential interactions such as hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and solubility. This compound may be of interest in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis due to its potential biological activity and utility as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data indicates that, like many nitriles, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and irritant properties. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
