The Uses of 3-Hydroxybutyronitrile
β-Hydroxybutyronitrile is an intermediate used to prepare 2-Methylazetidine which is a derivative of Azetidine (A813000), a useful building block in the synthesis of polypeptides and other nitrogen containing compounds with potential biological properties.
Definition
ChEBI: 3-hydroxybutanenitrile is a hydroxynitrile that is butyronitirle in which a hydrogen at position 3 has been replaced by a hydroxy group.
General Description
3-Hydroxybutyronitrile is a β-hydroxynitrile derivative. It undergoes thermolysis in the gas-phase through the formation of a six-membered cyclic transition state.
