Description

4-Phenylbutyronitrile is a chemical compound that is used in the production of styrene. It is a byproduct of the reaction between chlorobenzene and acetaldehyde, which also produces acrylonitrile. 4-Phenylbutyronitrile can be found as an environmental pollutant in water and soil due to its high reactivity with iron oxides and organic solvents. 4-Phenylbutyronitrile has been shown to inhibit enzymes such as oxidases, hydrolases, and transferases. The profile of this compound has been determined using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LCMS). 4-Phenylbutyronitrile has a crystalline structure that consists of alternating benzene rings and nitrile groups. The synthesis of 4-phenylbutyronitrile can be achieved through the reaction of phenylacetonitrile with hydrogen cyanide over copper or nickel
