cumonitrilamIne

[Eng. cumonitril; Chem.: C10H19(NH2)N, Amido-cumonitril. When cumonitril is added drop by drop to a cooked mixture of strong nitric and sulphuric acids, a crystalline nitro-cumonitril, C10H10(NO2)N, is formed, which is di olved in alcohol, and reduced by nascent hydrogen, from zinc and hydrochloric acid into cumonitrilamine. It is sparingly soluble in water, and crystallizes in large needles, which melt at 45°, and boils at 305°. It forms crystalline salts, which are mostly soluble in water and in alcohol. cum-0-1, 8. [Eng. cuminol; -yl.] Chem .: An aromatic monad radical (C9H11°CO)', sin, as; expect, Xenophon, exist. ph = f. cumoyl cumoyl chloride, s. Chemist.: Commonly called Cumyl chloride, C10H11OCI, or C9H11 CO-Cl. Obtained by the action of pent a chloride of phosphorus, PCl5, on cumic acid. It is an oil, boiling at 260°. It is decomposed by water into hydrochloric acid and cumic acid.
