2-(2-Methylpropoxy)benzonitrile

CAS: 902093-98-5

2-(2-Methylpropoxy)benzonitrile (BMB) is a chemical compound that is synthesized by the bromination of 2-methylpropylbenzene with bromine and potassium bromide. It is used in medicinal preparations as an intermediate for the synthesis of febuxostat, an antihypertensive agent. BMB has been shown to have oxidative properties, which may be due to its ability to form hydroperoxides from peroxide radicals in alkaline solution. The hydrolysis of BMB occurs readily in water or alcohols and leads to the formation of methyl benzoate and hydrogen chloride.
