2-Phenylacetamide
1. Basic Product Information
Product Name: 2-Phenylacetamide
CAS Number: 103-81-1
Molecular Formula: C8H9NO
Molecular Weight: 135.16
Synonyms: Phenylacetamide, Benzylcarboxamide
Product Category: Pharmaceutical synthetic intermediate, fine aromatic chemical, organic synthesis raw material
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Indicators
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Soluble in ethanol, methanol, chloroform; slightly soluble in hot water; insoluble in cold water, ether and aliphatic hydrocarbons
- Melting Point: 156–159 °C
- Density (20 °C): 1.12 g/cm3
- Hygroscopicity: Non-hygroscopic under sealed dry storage
- Aqueous Stability: Stable in neutral and weakly acidic aqueous solutions; amide hydrolysis occurs upon long-time heating under strong alkaline conditions
Chemical Characteristics
- Molecular Structure: Benzyl group linked with acetamide structure, aromatic amide compound
- Core Functional Mechanism: Key intermediate for synthesizing penicillin, anti-inflammatory and central nervous system pharmaceutical APIs; undergoes hydrolysis, substitution and cyclization reactions to generate multiple fine chemical derivatives
- Photostability: Light-sensitive; long-term UV irradiation causes slight yellow discoloration
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 120 °C; high-temperature heating accelerates amide bond cleavage degradation
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous polar organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkalis and heavy metal ions
3. Main Application Fields
- Core Application: Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate
Starting material for synthesizing penicillin series antibiotics and phenylacetamide derivative drugs - Fine Chemical Synthetic Raw Material
Precursor for manufacturing aromatic amide dyes, pesticide intermediates and flavor ester derivatives - Biochemical Laboratory Reagent
Amide substrate standard for amidase enzyme activity research
4. Platform Category & Product Group Guidance
1) Domestic B2B Platform Category
Recommended Path: Organic Intermediates / Pharmaceutical Intermediates
Reason: Aromatic amide intermediate for antibiotic and fine chemical synthesis
2) English Product Group Dropdown Options
Recommended Selection: Basic Organic Chemicals
Do NOT solely classify as pharmaceutical finished APIs; it is industrial synthetic intermediate
3. Standard Foreign Trade Packaging Specification
1kg nitrogen-sealed amber glass vials for reference standards; 1kg aluminum foil vacuum bags for pilot synthesis batches; 25kg double PE-lined lightproof fiber drums for bulk orders
