Benzonitrile, 2-(cyclopropylthio)-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 2-(cyclopropylthio)- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzonitrile moiety, which consists of a benzene ring attached to a nitrile group (–C≡N), and a cyclopropylthio group (–S–C3H5) at the second position of the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a colorless to pale yellow liquid form and has a distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and additions. Additionally, the cyclopropylthio group can influence the compound's electronic properties and steric effects, which may affect its behavior in biological systems or as a reagent in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as compounds containing nitriles can be toxic and require appropriate precautions.
