3-Bromobenzonitrile CAS 6952-59-6

1. 3-Bromobenzonitrile is primarily used as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals.
2. 3-Bromobenzonitrile CAS 6952-59-6 serves as a key building block for constructing brominated aromatic compounds and heterocycles via cross-coupling and cyano-group transformations.
3. This compound is also utilized in materials science research and as a precursor for liquid crystals or specialty polymers.

1. Store 3-bromobenzonitrile in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, protected from light and away from heat and ignition sources.
2. Keep the container tightly closed and separated from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases.
3. Handle 3-Bromobenzonitrile CAS 6952-59-6 with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Use a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors or dust.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, respirator if vapors are high).
2. Absorb 3-Bromobenzonitrile CAS 6952-59-6 spill with an inert, non-combustible material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Place the contaminated material in a sealed, labeled hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent the compound from entering drains, sewers, or the environment. Clean the affected surface with a suitable solvent or detergent, following local regulations.

1. 3-Bromobenzonitrile is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. It causes skin and eye irritation and may cause respiratory damage. It is toxic and may release cyanide under specific conditions (e.g., acidification, metabolism).
2. 3-Bromobenzonitrile CAS 6952-59-6 is combustible and may emit highly toxic fumes (hydrogen bromide, hydrogen cyanide, carbon oxides) when heated to decomposition or in a fire.
3. Always consult the official 3-bromobenzonitrile Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information. Handle as a toxic cyanide-containing compound.
