ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate - Introduction
Ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate(ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C8H13NO2. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity aroma.
ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate is commonly used as an intermediate and catalyst in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize compounds such as drugs, pesticides and special dyes. In addition, due to its aroma, it is also commonly used in the food and fragrance industries.
ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate is generally prepared by reacting ethyl 2-bromobutyrate with hydrocyanic acid. Hydrocyanic acid is first dissolved in dimethyl phosphoramidite, and then ethyl 2-bromobutyrate is added dropwise to the reaction mixture, which produces ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate. Finally, the target product is purified by distillation.
Regarding safety information, ethyl 2-cyanopentanoate is an irritant compound. During use, care should be taken to avoid skin contact and inhalation. If contact occurs, rinse with water immediately. In addition, due to its volatility, it should be used in a well-ventilated place. When handling or storing, the relevant safe operating procedures should be followed and kept away from fire and high temperature.
