3-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea

Description:

3-(4-Cyanophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, with the CAS number 82261-41-4, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of ureas. It features a urea functional group, characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) bonded to two nitrogen atoms (N). The compound has a cyanophenyl group, which indicates the presence of a phenyl ring substituted with a cyano group (–C≡N) at the para position. This substitution can impart unique electronic and steric properties, influencing its reactivity and interactions. The dimethyl groups attached to the urea nitrogen atoms enhance its lipophilicity, potentially affecting its solubility in organic solvents. The compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its structural characteristics suggest potential applications in agrochemicals or as a building block in organic synthesis. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose health or environmental risks.
