Bromo Acetonitrile (590-17-0)

Bromoacetonitrile is a halogenated nitrile compound with the molecular formula CHBrN, containing both a bromomethyl group and a nitrile functional group. It appears as a colorless liquid and is soluble in many organic solvents. The presence of these reactive groups makes it a valuable intermediate for a variety of organic transformations, including nucleophilic substitution and carboncarbon bond-forming reactions.
It is widely used as a chemical intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical synthesis. Bromoacetonitrile serves as a building block for the preparation of heterocyclic compounds, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and fine chemicals. It is also employed in research and development laboratories for synthesizing advanced intermediates and functionalized organic molecules.
