Propanenitrile, 2-chloro- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a nitrile functional group (-C≡N) and a chlorine atom attached to a propanenitrile backbone. Its molecular structure consists of a three-carbon chain with a cyano group at one end and a chlorine substituent on the second carbon. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is polar due to the presence of the nitrile group, which can engage in dipole-dipole interactions. Propanenitrile, 2-chloro- is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, but less soluble in non-polar solvents. It is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. As with many nitriles, it may exhibit toxicity and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. Its reactivity can include nucleophilic addition reactions due to the electrophilic nature of the carbon in the nitrile group.
