Description

2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzonitrile (2C5N) is a chemical compound that is used in the synthesis of other chemicals. 2C5N has been shown to inhibit the replication of poliovirus, but does not affect the replication of rhinovirus or adenovirus. This compound inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and interferon gamma in human macrophages by interfering with the diazonium salt reaction. 2C5N also has a high affinity for aromatic hydrocarbons, which may be due to its ability to act as a monoclonal antibody in affinity chromatography. The molecule's vibrational spectrum consists of stretching bands at 1725 cm-1 and 1375 cm-1, which are typical for an aromatic hydrocarbon. 2C5N can be administered orally, although it is more commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis reactions involving aromatic hydrocarbons.
