Propanenitrile, 3-[(phenylmethyl)amino]-, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description:

Propanenitrile, 3-[(phenylmethyl)amino]-, hydrochloride (1:1), also known as 3-(benzylamino)propionitrile hydrochloride, is a chemical compound characterized by its amine and nitrile functional groups. It typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water and various organic solvents, which is indicative of its polar nature due to the presence of the hydrochloride salt. The compound features a propanenitrile backbone with a benzylamino substituent, contributing to its potential biological activity. It may be used in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the synthesis of various bioactive molecules. The hydrochloride form enhances its stability and solubility, making it more suitable for use in aqueous environments. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering potential toxicity and reactivity. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
