Pentamethylphenylacetonitrile

Pentamethylphenylacetonitrile (PMP) is an aldehyde that is used as a reagent in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. It is also used in the preparation of phase transfer catalysts. PMP is typically available as a white powder and can be dissolved in organic solvents such as acetone or benzene. The chemical properties of PMP are similar to those of other aldehydes, including its susceptibility to oxidation, which can lead to the formation of carboxylic acids.
