3-Ethoxy Propionitrile
3-Ethoxy Propionitrile is an organic nitrile compound featuring an ethoxy group attached to the third carbon of a propionitrile backbone. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint ether-like odor and is moderately soluble in water and highly soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and acetone. In industry, 3-ethoxy propionitrile is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, as well as in the production of fine chemicals and polymers. Its reactive nitrile and ether functionalities make it versatile for chemical modifications and derivatizations.
