| 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide is an important intermediate for pharmaceutical production. It can be used for the synthesis of a series of piperidine-linked aromatic diimidazolines, which have been synthesized as conformationally restricted congeners of the anti-Pneumocystis carinii (PCP) drug, Pentamidine. |
| Chemical Properties | 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide (C8H6BrN, CAS registry No. 17201-43-3) is a white solid. Its melting point is 113-117°C, and flash point is 125.1°C. It is insoluble in water at 20°C. It is stable under normal temperatures and pressures. It should be stored at 0-5°C. |
| Chemical Properties | white to light yellow crystal powde |
| Uses | 4-(Bromomethyl)benzonitrile may be used in the synthesis of ligands containing a chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine group with a pendant aromatic nitrile. |
| Uses | 4-(Bromomethyl)benzonitrile is used in the synthesis of ligands containing a chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine group with a pendant aromatic nitrile. It is also useful in the preparation of 4-[(2H-tetra-zol-2-yl)methyl]benzonitrile by reaction with 2H-tetrazole in the presence of potassium hydroxide. |
| Uses | A benzyl halide as postemergence herbicides. |
| General Description | 4-(Bromomethyl)benzonitrile reacts with 2H-tetrazole in the presence of KOH to yield 4-[(2H-tetra-zol-2-yl)methyl]benzonitrile. |
