CAS NO.: 3302-16-7;3,3-Dimethylbutanenitrile. PROPERTIES: This aliphatic nitrile appears as colorless liquid with pleasant almond-like odor, exhibiting molecular weight approximately 101.16 g/mol with limited aqueous solubility but good miscibility in organic solvents. The 3,3-Dimethylbutanenitrile exhibits moderate volatility with density around 0.79 g/cm? and boiling point approximately 110 C. Stability characterization reveals vulnerability to hydrolysis under acidic conditions and prone to polymerization when exposed to UV light, necessitating storage at 2-8 degree Celsius in amber glass containers with polymerization inhibitors. Safety measures require using pentane-resistant gloves and maintaining vapor levels below 50 ppm. Inhalation may cause cyanide-like toxicity; treatment includes administration of hydroxocobalamin. Skin absorption requires immediate washing with sodium thiosulfate solution. Eye contact necessitates 15 minutes of rinsing followed by topical corticosteroids. Waste should be hydrolyzed with acid prior to disposal. APPLICATIONS: The 3,3-Dimethylbutanenitrile serves as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of flavor compounds and fragrance materials through hydrolytic routes. Its dimethyl branching provides enhanced solubility in lipid phases compared to linear analogs. The compound functions as a key building block in the preparation of beta-ketoesters through Michael addition reactions. Additionally, it undergoes Sandmeyer reaction for creating arylated nitriles. Research teams utilize it as a starting material for creating chiral auxiliaries through asymmetric hydrogenation. In materials science, its nitrile group enables formation of polyacrylonitrile copolymers with tailored thermal properties.
