4-Pyridineacetonitrile, a-methyl-

Description:
4-Pyridineacetonitrile, α-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a nitrile functional group (-C≡N) attached to a carbon chain that includes a methyl group (α-methyl) adjacent to the pyridine. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its polar nature, making it soluble in polar solvents while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity can be attributed to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitrile group, which can influence its behavior in chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
