3-Chlorobenzyl Cyanide CAS 1529-41-5

1. 3-Chlorobenzyl cyanide is primarily used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.
2. 3-Chlorobenzyl cyanide CAS 1529-41-5 serves as a versatile building block for constructing chlorine- and cyano-substituted aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.
3. This compound is also utilized in organic research and materials science.

1. Store 3-chlorobenzyl cyanide in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat, sparks, open flames, and combustible materials.
2. Keep the container tightly closed and separated from strong oxidizing agents, strong bases, reducing agents, and acids.
3. Handle 3-Chlorobenzyl cyanide CAS 1529-41-5 with extreme caution using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, face shield, and a lab coat. Always use a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors or dust.

1. Immediately isolate the area, ensure ventilation, and wear full protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, respirator).
2. **Do not use water.** Carefully collect the spilled solid/liquid with an inert, non-combustible material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Place all contaminated material in a sealed, labeled hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent 3-Chlorobenzyl cyanide CAS 1529-41-5 from entering drains, sewers, or the environment. Decontaminate surfaces with a suitable solvent or detergent, collecting all residues. Seek expert assistance.

1. 3-Chlorobenzyl cyanide is highly toxic, corrosive, and a potent lachrymator. It causes severe skin burns, eye damage, and respiratory damage. It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. It releases hydrogen cyanide upon contact with acids, moisture, or when heated.
2. 3-Chlorobenzyl cyanide CAS 1529-41-5 is flammable and may emit highly toxic fumes (hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide) when heated to decomposition or burned.
3. Always consult the official 3-chlorobenzyl cyanide Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the most current and comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information. Handle as a severe health, reactivity, and cyanide hazard. Specialized training is required.
