Cyanomethyl 3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-propenoate

Description:

Cyanomethyl 3-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-propenoate, identified by its CAS number 861212-72-8, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups and structural features. It contains a cyano group (-C≡N), which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of the 2,4-dichlorophenyl moiety indicates that it has significant aromatic characteristics, which can influence its chemical behavior and interactions. The propenoate part of the molecule suggests that it has unsaturation, allowing for potential polymerization or addition reactions. This compound may exhibit properties such as moderate to high solubility in organic solvents, and its reactivity can be attributed to the electrophilic nature of the double bond and the nucleophilic potential of the cyano group. Due to its structural complexity, it may find applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in various chemical syntheses. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many organic compounds, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
