Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameBeta-Phenylethylcyanide
DescriptionBenzenepropanenitrile also known as 3-phenylpropionitrile, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzenes and substituted benzene derivatives. These are aromatic compounds containing one monocyclic ring system consisting of benzene. Benzenepropanenitrile can also be classified as a benzonitrile. Benzenepropanenitrile exists as clear colorless to light yellow liquid and is only slightly soluble in water. It is a derivative of Benzyl cyanide. Benzyl cyanide is a toxic compound and produces the deadly poison hydrogen cyanide when burned. Benzyl cyanide is regulated in the United States as a DEA List I chemical. Benzenepropanenitrile has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as cabbages, broccoli, brassicas, and white mustards which makes benzenepropanenitrile a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Benzenepropanenitrile or beta-Phenylethylcyanide is a constituent of cannabis smoke and is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
