• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 5-Cyanophthalide is an inorganic acid that is a white solid. It has a molecular weight of 114.07 g/mol and a melting point of -43 degrees Celsius. 5-Cyanophthalide can be synthesized by reacting 5-carboxyphthalide with chlorine gas in the presence of an inert solvent and heat. The product is then purified by crystallization or recrystallization. The biological properties of 5-cyanophthalide are unknown, but it has been shown to have amide and chloride groups on either side of the molecule's carbon backbone. Mass spectrometry reveals that this compound exists as an enantiomer, meaning that it exists as two mirror images that are not superimposable on each other. This means there are two different forms: one left-handed and one right-handed form.
