Typical Properties

2-BIPHENYLACETONITRILE Usage

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate

  • Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

  • Can serve as a precursor in making antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, and central nervous system–active compounds.

• Agrochemical Intermediate

  • Acts as a raw material for producing herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.

  • The biphenyl structure improves stability and lipophilicity in agrochemical molecules.

• Organic Synthesis

  • Useful in cross-coupling reactions (e.g., Suzuki, Heck) due to the biphenyl moiety.

  • The nitrile group (–CN) allows transformation into amines, amides, acids, etc., which are key building blocks.

• Material Science (specialty chemicals)

  • Sometimes explored in liquid crystal or polymer intermediate research, because of its rigid biphenyl unit.
