Description:1-Naphthalenecarbonitrile, with the CAS number 86-53-3, is an organic compound characterized by a naphthalene ring substituted with a cyano group (-C≡N) at the 1-position. This compound appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is known for its aromatic properties due to the presence of the naphthalene moiety. It has a relatively high melting point and is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. 1-Naphthalenecarbonitrile is utilized in various chemical syntheses, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and serves as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The cyano group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for further functionalization in chemical reactions. Additionally, it exhibits fluorescence properties, making it useful in certain analytical applications. As with many nitriles, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
