3-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile

Description:

3-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a methyl group and a nitro group attached to a benzonitrile framework. The presence of the nitrile functional group (-C≡N) contributes to its reactivity and polarity, while the methyl and nitro substituents influence its physical and chemical properties. Typically, this compound appears as a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a yellowish color. It is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The nitro group can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions, while the nitrile group can serve as a versatile functional group for further chemical transformations. Additionally, 3-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile may have specific solubility characteristics, often being soluble in organic solvents but less so in water. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as nitro compounds can be sensitive and potentially hazardous.

3-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile is a fluorescing aromatic amine that is synthesized by aliphatic amines. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of cells in culture, which may be due to its ability to bind with and inhibit the insulin-like growth factor receptor-1 (IGF-1R). 3-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile has also been shown to bind with cytochrome P450 enzymes, where it can be oxidized or reduced. The conformation of 3-methyl-4 nitrobenzonitrile is dependent on the solvent molecules present.
