2-Cyano-N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide is an organic compound that is used as a nucleoside, which is a component of DNA and RNA. This nucleoside has been shown to be biodegradable and electrophilic, with the ability to react with sulfinate compounds. 2-Cyano-N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide can be synthesized by reacting sodium sulfinate with an n-substituted acetamide in the presence of base catalysis. The deacetylated intermediate can be detected using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The carboxyesterase reversibly catalyzes the reaction between 2-cyano-N-(2-phenylethyl)acetamide and glutathione.
