In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Microbial degradation of nitrile compounds. Part IV. Fungal degradation of triacrylonitrile, published in 1981-01-31, which mentions a compound: 4553-62-2, Name is 2-Methylglutaronitrile, Molecular C6H8N2, Application In Synthesis of 2-Methylglutaronitrile.
Two fungal strains (TG-1 and TG-2) which utilized triacrylonitrile (I) as N source were isolated from soil and identified as Fusarium merismoides merismoides and F. solani solani, resp. F. merismoides TG-1 could utilize I, adiponitrile, glutaronitrile, diacrylonitrile, and 2,4-dicyano-1-butene as N sources. Conditions for cultivation of the strain were studied. Degradation products of I were a mixture of 5,7-dicyanoheptanoic acid (62%) and 4,7-dicyanoheptanoic acid (II) (38%). A mixture of 5,7-dicyanoheptanoic acid (11%) and II (89%) was also obtained from the culture broth of F. solani TG-2.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：N#CC(C)CCC#N)Application In Synthesis of 2-Methylglutaronitrile, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(4553-62-2) can be discovered.
