Benzyl
Cyanide is a toxic, colorless to pale yellow aromatic
liquid organic compound that is a
precursor to several derivatives. Its chemical formula is C6H5CH2CN. It is produced by the reaction of benzyl chloride with
sodium cyanide.
The compound’s most important reactions involve the “Active Methylene Group”.
Benzyl Cyanide is used in the production of phenobarbital
and other amphetamines as well as in organic synthesis in other pharmaceutical
and industrial applications.
Benzyl cyanide is a useful precursor to numerous
pharmaceuticals. Examples include:
·
Anorectics (e.g. sibutramine)
·
Analgesics (e.g. ethoheptazine, ketobemidone, pethidine,
and phenoperidine)
·
Antiarrhythmics (e.g. disopyramide)
·
Antidepressants (e.g. venlafaxine)
·
Antihistamines (e.g. levocabastine and
chlorphenamine)
·
Antimalarial medications (e.g. pyrimethamine)
·
Antitussives (e.g. isoaminile, oxeladin,
butethamate, pentapiperide, and pentoxyverine)[13]
·
Diuretics (e.g. triamterene)
·
Hypnotics (e.g. alonimid and phenobarbital)
·
Spasmolytics (e.g. pentapiperide and drofenine)
·
Stimulants (e.g. methylphenidate)
Applications
Benzyl Cyanide, C6H5CH2CN, is used in organic synthesis for dyes, perfumes, pesticides, and
pharmaceuticals, especially penicillin precursors.
Benzyl Cyanide is an important intermediate for a variety of
useful, and sometimes dangerous, compounds. It is used in the production of phenobarbital, methylphenidate, and
other amphetamines.
It is also used to make methadone, pethidine, and
ketobemidone if further substituted.
In organic synthesis, benzyl chloride is used for the
introduction of the benzyl protecting group for alcohols, yielding the
corresponding benzyl ether, and carboxylic acids, yielding the corresponding
benzyl ester.
