2-Chloro-5-(5-hydroxy-3-pyridinyl)benzonitrile

Description:

2-Chloro-5-(5-hydroxy-3-pyridinyl)benzonitrile is a chemical compound characterized by its complex structure, which includes a chlorobenzene moiety and a pyridine ring with a hydroxyl group. This compound features a chloro substituent at the 2-position and a cyano group at the 1-position of the benzene ring, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in medicinal chemistry. The presence of the hydroxyl group on the pyridine ring enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its biological activity. The compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of both aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, including potential interactions with biological targets due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds and participate in π-π stacking interactions. Its specific applications may include roles in drug development or as an intermediate in organic synthesis, although detailed studies would be necessary to elucidate its full range of properties and potential uses. Safety data and handling precautions should be considered, as with any chemical substance.
