<p>3-Oxocyclopentane-1-carbonitrile</p>

<p>3-Oxocyclopentane-1-carbonitrile is a chiral aliphatic compound that is used in the synthesis of other organic compounds. It is a diastereomer of cyclopentanone and can be obtained by the isomerization of cyclohexanone. The carbon atom at position 1 has three different substituents, which give it three stereoisomers. 3-Oxocyclopentane-1-carbonitrile is used to synthesize hexanoic acid, acrylonitrile, and styrene.</p>
