Chemical Properties

clear slightly yellow liquid

Uses

6-Bromohexanenitrile (6-Bromocapronitrile, 6-Bromohexanonitrile) is suitable reagent used in the synthesis of (5-cyanopentyl)zinc(II) bromide, an organozinc reagent. It may be used in the synthesis of the following:

• 6-(1,4-dioxa-8-azaspiro[4.5]dec-8-yl)hexanenitrile.
• dimethyl 6,6′-dithiobiscaproimidate, a long-chain dithiobisimidate.
• N-benzyloxy-(4-cyanopentyl)-carbamic acid ethyl ester, a N-benzyloxy carbamate derivative.
• 1-hetarylsulfanyl-ω-cyanoalkanes.

General Description

6-Bromohexanenitrile (6-Bromohexanonitrile) is an ω-bromoalkanonitrile. Friedel Crafts alkylation of 6-bromohexanenitrile with benzene has been studied.
