1. Basic Information
Name: ε-Chlorocapronitrile
Alias: 6-Chlorohexanenitrile, 6-Chloro-n-hexyl cyanide
CAS No.: 6628-78-0
Molecular Formula: C6H10ClN
Molecular Weight: 131.60
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless transparent oily liquid
- Odor: Pungent nitrile characteristic odor
- Solubility: Insoluble in water; miscible with ethanol, methanol, dichloromethane, toluene, ethyl acetate and other organic solvents
- Boiling Point: 108–110 °C (12 mmHg)
- Density: 1.036 g/cm3 (20 °C)
- Refractive Index: 1.459–1.463 (20 °C)
- Hygroscopicity: Slightly hygroscopic
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Straight-chain aliphatic nitrile with chlorine atom at the terminal 6-position, containing cyano group (-CN) and chloro substituent (-Cl)
- Cyano reactivity: Cyano group can undergo hydrolysis, reduction, cyclization to generate carboxylic acids, amines and nitrogen heterocyclic intermediates
- Alkyl chloride reactivity: Terminal Cl is active leaving group, easy to carry out SN2 substitution with amines, alcohols, thiols
- Thermal stability: Stable under normal temperature; high temperature decomposition releases toxic cyanide and hydrogen chloride gas
- Photostability: Slightly sensitive to strong light; long-term illumination turns light yellow
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous organic solvents; incompatible with strong alkali, strong reducing agents, strong oxidants, ammonia water
3. Main Application Fields
1. Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate (Core Application)
- Key linear aliphatic building block for anti-depressant, anti-hypertensive and amino acid derivative APIs
- Precursor for synthesizing six-membered aliphatic amine, lactam and heterocyclic pharmaceutical intermediates via substitution and cyclization
2. Fine Chemical & Agrochemical Raw Material
Synthetic intermediate for high-efficiency herbicides, insecticides and functional cationic surfactants
3. Organic Synthesis Reagent
Substrate for laboratory nucleophilic substitution, aliphatic chain extension and heterocyclic construction reactions
4. Chromatography Reference Standard
GC calibration standard for aliphatic chloro-nitrile impurity detection
