5-Hydroxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-3,4′-dicarbonitrile

Description:

5-Hydroxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-3,4′-dicarbonitrile, with the CAS number 1261949-21-6, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of hydroxyl (-OH) and cyano (-CN) functional groups significantly influences its chemical properties. The hydroxyl group contributes to the compound's potential for hydrogen bonding, which can enhance its solubility in polar solvents and affect its reactivity. The dicarbonitrile moiety indicates that there are two cyano groups attached to the biphenyl framework, which can impart notable electronic properties and increase the compound's reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound may exhibit interesting optical and electronic characteristics, making it of interest in materials science and organic synthesis. Additionally, its structural features suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, although specific applications would depend on further research into its biological activity and stability.
