Butanenitrile, 4-[methyl(phenylmethyl)amino]-

Description:

Butanenitrile, 4-[methyl(phenylmethyl)amino]- is an organic compound characterized by its nitrile functional group and an amine substituent. It features a butane backbone with a nitrile group (-C≡N) at one end and a 4-position substitution of a methyl(phenylmethyl)amino group, which indicates the presence of a phenyl ring attached to a methyl group connected to a nitrogen atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate polarity due to the presence of the nitrile and amine groups. The compound's structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. However, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as nitriles can be toxic and may pose health risks. Proper storage and handling in a well-ventilated area, along with the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended to mitigate any hazards associated with this chemical.
