3 4-(Methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile CAS 4439-02-5

3 4-(Methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile (CAS:4439-02-5) is an important organic synthetic intermediate.

Its main applications including:

1. Key synthetic intermediate for natural alkaloid and pharmaceutical active molecule manufacturing.
2. 3 4-(Methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile is applied in organic synthesis to prepare phenethylamine and substituted aromatic amine derivatives.
3. 3 4-(Methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile serves as starting material for fine chemicals containing methylenedioxyphenyl skeleton.

1. Keep airtight and store below 25°C in dry dark storage to prevent light-induced decomposition of methylenedioxy group.
2. Seal packaging tightly to stop moisture from triggering partial hydrolysis of nitrile functional group.
3. Store separately from strong acids, strong oxidants and active metal catalysts.

1. Avoid inhaling crystalline dust; wear dust mask and chemical-resistant gloves during weighing and transfer.
2. Do not ingest this nitrile compound; flush contacted eyes and skin with abundant running water once exposed accidentally.
3. Dispose residual solids and reaction filtrate complying with nitrile-containing hazardous organic waste regulations.

1. Integrated methylenedioxy and cyano groups support multiple selective organic derivatization reactions.
2. Stable benzene heterocyclic structure maintains integrity under conventional heating synthesis conditions.
3. High crystal purity effectively reduces impurity byproducts in alkaloid intermediate preparation.
