2-(Acetyloxy)acetonitrile, with the CAS number 1001-55-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an acetyloxy group and a nitrile functional group. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a moderate boiling point, indicating its volatility. The acetyloxy group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The nitrile group imparts polar characteristics, enhancing its solubility in polar solvents while limiting its solubility in non-polar solvents. This compound is generally stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to the formation of acetic acid and acetic acid derivatives. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Overall, 2-(Acetyloxy)acetonitrile serves as a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry.
