This compound can act as a crosslinker to protein kinase, which is responsible for thousands of phosphorylation events in the phosphoproteome.
2-Cyanobenzaldehyde may be used:
- in the base-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 3-substituted isoindolinones
- in the synthesis of 3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-isoindoles, via Baylis-Hillman reaction
- in the synthesis of 3-(N-substituted amino)-1-isoindolenones
Aldol addition of enolizable 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to 2-cyanobenzaldehyde in the presence of a tertiary amine has been reported. Biotransformation of 2-cyanobenzaldehyde by Euglena gracilis Z cultured photohetero-trophically has been reported.
