Benzonitrile, 2,3,5-trimethyl-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 2,3,5-trimethyl- is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, featuring a benzene ring substituted with a nitrile group and three methyl groups at the 2, 3, and 5 positions. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, typical of aromatic compounds. It is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. The presence of the nitrile functional group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic additions. Additionally, the methyl substituents influence its physical properties, such as boiling point and melting point, compared to unsubstituted benzonitrile. Benzonitrile derivatives are often used in organic synthesis and can serve as intermediates in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety data indicates that, like many nitriles, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and irritant properties.
