3-(Chloromethyl)benzonitrile, with the CAS number 64407-07-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group and a nitrile functional group attached to a benzene ring. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. It is known for its reactivity due to the presence of both the chloromethyl and nitrile groups, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The chloromethyl group can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the nitrile group can undergo hydrolysis or be involved in further functionalization. 3-(Chloromethyl)benzonitrile is generally soluble in organic solvents but may have limited solubility in water. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may be toxic and irritant. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any environmental or health risks associated with its use.
