(3-Aminophenyl)acetonitrile, with the CAS number 4623-24-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group and a nitrile group attached to a phenyl ring. This compound features a three-carbon chain connecting the phenyl group to the acetonitrile functional group, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. The amino group (-NH2) is positioned at the meta position relative to the acetonitrile group on the phenyl ring, influencing its reactivity and properties. (3-Aminophenyl)acetonitrile is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the amino group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. This compound is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis, where it may serve as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Its reactivity can be attributed to the functional groups present, making it a valuable building block in chemical synthesis.
