2H-Pyran-2-acetonitrile,tetrahydro-

Description:

2H-Pyran-2-acetonitrile, tetrahydro- is a chemical compound characterized by its pyran ring structure, which is a six-membered heterocyclic compound containing one oxygen atom. This substance features a nitrile functional group (-C≡N) attached to the acetonitrile moiety, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The tetrahydro designation indicates that the compound has undergone hydrogenation, resulting in a saturated form of the pyran ring. This compound is typically used in various chemical reactions, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its properties may include moderate solubility in polar organic solvents, and it may exhibit specific reactivity patterns due to the presence of both the nitrile and the pyran functionalities. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as with any chemical substance, to ensure safe laboratory practices.
