benzonitrile

Description

Benzonitrile, also known as cyanobenzene or phenyl cyanide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzonitriles. These are organic compounds containing a benzene bearing a nitrile substituent. Organic nitriles decompose into cyanide ions both in vivo and in vitro. Benzonitrile is the chemical compound with the formula C6H5(CN), abbreviated PhCN. This aromatic organic compound is a colorless liquid with a sweet almond odour. It is mainly used as a precursor to the resin benzoguanamine. Benzonitrile is a rancid tasting compound and it has been detected, but not quantified, in a few different foods, such as cherry and garden tomato. Benzonitrile is a potentially toxic compound to humans. Benzonitrile is a useful solvent and a versatile precursor to many derivatives such as benzamides and Diphenylketimine. It is produced by ammoxidation of toluene, that is its reaction with ammonia and oxygen (or air) at 400 to 450 ¬∞C (752 to 842 ¬∞F) (doi:10.1002/14356007.a03_555).
