General description

3,4-(Methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile undergoes hydrolysis catalyzed by nitrilase ZmNIT2 enzyme from maize.

Application

3,4-(Methylenedioxy)phenylacetonitrile was used in synthesis of derrubone. It was used as standard to analyze the seized methamphetamine samples showing unique profiles of stable isotopic compositions by isotope ratio mass spectrometry.
