3,4-Dimethylbenzonitrile（Cat No.:L015730）is an aromatic compound with a nitrile group (-CN) at the 1-position and methyl groups at the 3- and 4-positions on the benzene ring. The presence of the electron-withdrawing nitrile group and the electron-donating methyl groups creates a unique electronic environment, making it reactive in nucleophilic substitution and electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. It is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. This compound can also serve as a building block for the creation of more complex aromatic and heterocyclic systems.
