Benzyl cyanide Specification

 The Benzyl cyanide, with the CAS registry number 140-29-4,is also known as Benzeneacetonitrile; Alpha-tolunitrile; Phenyl acetyl nitrile. It belongs to the product categories of Pharmaceutical Intermediates;Organics. This chemical's molecular formula is C8H7N and molecular weight is 117.15.Its EINECS number is 205-410-5. What's more,Its systematic name is Benzyl cyanide. It is a colorless oily liquid with an aromatic odor. And it is insoluble in water and slightly denser than water.When you Contact,it  may irritate skin, eyes, and mucous membranes ,and may be toxic by ingestion.It is used to make other chemicals.It is a reversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor.And it can be produced by the reaction of benzyl chloride with sodium cyanide.
