Brand:Biosynth
Description:Mesitylacetonitrile is a mesityl-substituted acetonitrile. It is used in organic synthesis as a Grignard reagent, which is an organometallic compound containing an alkyl or other carbon group bound to magnesium. Mesitylacetonitrile has been shown to react with chlorides to produce furyl chlorides and chloride. Mesitylacetonitrile can be synthesized by reacting phenylacetonitrile (a byproduct of the synthesis of acetone) with chlorine gas and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst such as copper(II) chloride. This reaction produces mesitylacetonitrile and hydrogen chloride gas as byproducts. The compound has been used to synthesize corticotropin-releasing factor receptor antagonists that have potential therapeutic applications for the treatment of stress-related disorders.
