3-Chloro-2-methylpropanenitrile

Description:
3-Chloro-2-methylpropanenitrile, with the CAS number 7659-45-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a nitrile functional group (-C≡N) and a chlorine atom attached to a branched carbon chain. This compound features a three-carbon backbone with a methyl group and a chlorine substituent at the second carbon position, contributing to its unique reactivity and properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the nitrile group imparts polar characteristics, making it soluble in polar solvents while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. 3-Chloro-2-methylpropanenitrile is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Due to the chlorine atom, it may exhibit reactivity typical of alkyl halides, including nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate protective measures should be taken to minimize exposure.
