alkylCN
AlkylCN refers to a class of organic compounds characterized by the presence of both an alkyl group and a nitrile functional group. The general formula for an alkylCN can be represented as R-CN, where R is an alkyl group and CN represents the nitrile group, which consists of a carbon atom triple-bonded to a nitrogen atom. Alkyl groups are saturated hydrocarbon chains, such as methyl (-CH3), ethyl (-C2H5), propyl (-C3H7), and so on.
These compounds are also known as nitriles or aliphatic nitriles. The nitrile functional group is polar due
AlkylCNs are important intermediates in organic synthesis. They can be hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids or amines,
