Chemical Properties

3-(Ethylamino)propionitrile is CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

3-(Ethylamino)propionitrile is a reactant used in the preparation of heteroaryl-substituted bis-trifluoromethyl carbinols and trifluoroacetophenone derivatives malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD) inhibi tors.

Uses

3-(Ethylamino)propionitrile was used in the synthesis of 3-[ethyl- (2-naphthalen-1-yl-ethyl)-amino]-propionitrile by reacting with 1-(2-bromoethyl)naphthalene.

General Description

3-(Ethylamino)propionitrile (β-ethylaminopropionitrile) is an aminonitrile. It has been reported to be synthesized by reacting ethylamine with equimolar acrylonitrile.
