Product Information

• Name: 3-Phenoxybenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Phenoxybenzonitrile is a diphenyl ether that can be used as an anti-cancer and pesticide. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of human cancer cells in vitro, and is effective against a number of insect pests. 3-Phenoxybenzonitrile is toxic to humans, but is less toxic than other phenoxybenzamines. 3-Phenoxybenzonitrile has also been shown to be carcinogenic, with parameters such as hydrogen chloride, optimization and chloride affecting its carcinogenicity. This chemical's toxicity depends on the functional group present at the 3-position. In the presence of chloride ions, it reacts with acetonitrile to form 1,2-dioxane and hydrogen chloride. The rate of this reaction will depend on the reaction time and temperature.
