What is 3-Aminopropionitrile CAS 151-18-8?

3-Aminopropionitrile, also named 3-aminopropanenitrile, is a bifunctional organic intermediate with the molecular formula C3H6N2 and a molecular weight of about 70.09 g/mol. It contains both a primary amine group and a nitrile group, and is normally supplied as a colorless to pale yellow liquid.

What is beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN)?

Beta-aminopropionitrile, abbreviated BAPN, is a widely used synonym for 3-aminopropionitrile CAS 151-18-8. The beta position refers to the amino group located on the third carbon relative to the nitrile, and the name is common in biochemical and pharmaceutical research.

What are the main uses of 3-Aminopropionitrile?

It is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. Typical downstream targets include beta-alanine, pantothenic acid, and nitrogen-containing polymers or fine chemicals; it is also studied as a lysyl oxidase inhibitor.

Why does 3-Aminopropionitrile need careful storage?

The liquid contains reactive amine and nitrile groups and is sensitive to air and moisture. It should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, sparks, open flame, and direct sunlight.

What safety precautions apply to 3-Aminopropionitrile?

3-Aminopropionitrile is a combustible corrosive material that is toxic if swallowed and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. Handle it with appropriate chemical-resistant gloves, eye and skin protection, and effective ventilation, following the relevant safety data sheet and local regulations.
