Alpha Bromo-O-tolunitrile is a bifunctional aromatic compound bearing a benzylic bromide next to a nitrile group on an ortho-substituted benzene ring (2-(bromomethyl)benzonitrile). It has CAS number 22115-41-9 and the molecular formula C8H6BrN.
It is used as a versatile building block and alkylating reagent in organic and medicinal chemistry, where the reactive benzylic bromide enables carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation. The adjacent nitrile provides a handle for further functionalization toward heterocycles and pharmaceutical intermediates.
It is an aromatic solid with a molecular weight of 196.047 g/mol, soluble in common organic solvents. The benzylic C-Br bond is reactive toward nucleophiles, making the compound a useful electrophile in substitution chemistry.
Store it sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and light. Benzyl bromides are typically lachrymators and skin irritants, so handle with suitable protection and consult the SDS before use.
