Furan-2-carbonitrile is also known as 2-cyano furan. It is a heterocyclic compound that contains a furan ring with a cyano group (CN) attached to the 2-position of the furan ring.
Furan-2-carbonitrile is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. It is primarily used as a building block in organic synthesis to produce various pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its cyano group can undergo various reactions, such as nucleophilic addition, substitution, and reduction, to introduce different functional groups onto the furan ring.
However, it is important to note that furan-2-carbonitrile is a toxic compound and should be handled with care. It may cause skin and eye irritation and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled.
