α,4-Dihydroxybenzeneacetonitrile

Description:
α,4-Dihydroxybenzeneacetonitrile, also known by its CAS number 13093-65-7, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a nitrile (-C≡N) functional group. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with two hydroxyl groups at the alpha and para positions relative to the acetonitrile group. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals, due to its potential as an intermediate in the production of more complex molecules. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-donating nature of the hydroxyl groups, which can enhance nucleophilicity and affect its behavior in chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
