Common NameBenzenepropanenitrile
DescriptionBenzenepropanenitrile, also known as 2-phenylethyl cyanide or 3-phenylpropiononitrile, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzene and substituted derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Benzenepropanenitrile is possibly neutral. Outside of the human body, Benzenepropanenitrile has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as broccoli, cabbages, cauliflowers, brassicas, and herbs and spices. This could make benzenepropanenitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Benzenepropanenitrile is found in Brassica napus , Brassica oleracea, Descurainia sophia and Nasturtium officinale . Benzenepropanenitrile was first documented in 1990 (PMID: 24264910). A nitrile that is propionitrile in which one of the methyl hydrogens has been replaced by a phenyl group (PMID: 11826962) (PMID: 19637256) (PMID: 22698371).
