3-Oxopentanenitrile, with the CAS number 33279-01-5, is an organic compound characterized by its functional groups, which include a ketone and a nitrile. It features a five-carbon chain with a ketone group located at the third carbon and a nitrile group at the terminal position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. 3-Oxopentanenitrile can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis. Its structure allows for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. As with many nitriles, it may exhibit toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling it in a laboratory setting.

3-Oxopentanenitrile is an amino acid with the chemical formula C5H7NO. It is a colorless liquid that has not been isolated in pure form. 3-Oxopentanenitrile is an activated amino acid, meaning it has a reactive group on it. The reactive group in this case is chlorine, which can be found at the C2 position of the molecule. This amino acid has been sequenced and its structure determined to be pyrrole, which is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. It was synthesized from acrylonitrile and dehydrogenated using biological properties (i.e., enzymes) from recombinant E. coli cells to produce oxopentanenitrile as one of its products. 3-Oxopentanenitrile can be used as a reagent for various reactions related to organic synthesis, such as oxidation reactions and condensation reactions, due to its reactivity with oxygen and other
