2,2,3-Trichloropropanenitrile

Description:

2,2,3-Trichloropropanenitrile, with the CAS number 813-74-1, is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propanenitrile backbone substituted with three chlorine atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its strong, pungent odor. It is classified as a nitrile, which indicates the presence of a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the carbon chain. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals. 2,2,3-Trichloropropanenitrile is also noted for its potential environmental and health impacts, necessitating careful handling and adherence to safety protocols. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. As with many chlorinated compounds, it may pose risks of toxicity and environmental persistence, making it important to consider its use and disposal in accordance with regulatory guidelines.
