Common Name | o-tolunitrile |

Description | O-Tolunitrile belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzonitriles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene bearing a nitrile substituent. Benzyl cyanide (abbreviated BnCN) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H5CH2CN. Benzyl cyanide is regulated in the United States as a DEA List I chemical. The partial hydrolysis of BnCN results in 2-phenylacetamide, a known anticonvulsant. Benzyl cyanide, like related benzyl derivatives, is an irritant to the skin and eyes. O-Tolunitrile is possibly neutral. Benzyl cyanide is a useful precursor to numerous pharmaceuticals. Examples include:Anorectics (e.G. Sibutramine)Analgesics (e.G. Ethoheptazine, ketobemidone, pethidine, and phenoperidine)Antiarrhythmics (e.G. Disopyramide)Antidepressants (e.G. Venlafaxine)Antihistamines (e.G. Levocabastine and chlorphenamine)Antimalarial medications (e.G. Pyrimethamine)Antitussives (e.G. Isoaminile, oxeladin, butethamate, pentapiperide, and pentoxyverine)Diuretics (e.G. Triamterene)Hypnotics (e.G. Alonimid and phenobarbital)Spasmolytics (e.G. Pentapiperide and drofenine)Stimulants (e.G. Methylphenidate)AzatadineBecause benzyl cyanide is a useful precursor to numerous drugs with recreational use potential, many countries strictly regulate the compound. Benzyl cyanide can be hydrolyzed to give phenylacetic acid or used in the Pinner reaction to yield phenylacetic acid esters. Benzyl cyanide can be produced via Kolbe nitrile synthesis between benzyl chloride and sodium cyanide and by oxidative decarboxylation of phenylalanine. The compound also forms an "active methylene unit" on the carbon between the aromatic ring and the nitrile functional group. o-tolunitrile is found in Festuca rubra and Glycyrrhiza glabra. It is toxic and produces the deadly poison hydrogen cyanide when burned. |
