What is 2-Cyanobenzophenone?

The Uses of 2-Cyanobenzophenone

2-Cyanobenzophenone (2-benzoylbenzonitrile) may be used in the preparation of 3-phenyl-3H-isobenzofuran-1-ylidenamine.

General Description

2-Cyanobenzophenone, also known as 2-benzoylbenzonitrile, is a carbonyl-ene-nitrile compound. Its crystal structure belongs to the monoclinic space group, P2₁/c. 2-Cyanobenzophenone reacts with furan to form the corresponding adduct. Its reduction under electrochemical condition led to the formation of 2-t-butylbenzophenone, 3-t-butyl-3-phenylphthalide and 6-t-butyl-3-phenylphthalide.
