Chemical Properties
white to off-white crystals or crystalline powder
Uses
2-Mesitylacetonitrile, is an organic building block used in the synthesis of more complex compounds, such as Spiromesifen Metabolite (M225645). It can also be used in the novel synthetic route for the Anti-HIV Drug MC-1220 and its analogues.
Uses
2,4,6-Trimethylphenylacetonitrile (Mesitylacetonitrile) may be used in the preparation of 2,4,6-trimethyl-,9-phenethylamine hydrochloride. It may also be employed in the synthesis of the following compounds:
- ethyl mesitylacetate
- α-mesitylacetoacetonitrile
- mesitylacetone
- β-hydroxy-a-mesitylacrylonitrile
- α-mesitylpropionic acid
- α-mesityl-8-phenylpropionitrile
General Description
2,4,6-Trimethylphenylacetonitrile is formed as an intermediate during the synthesis of mesitylacetic acid.
