Description:Benzeneacetonitrile, 2-hydroxy- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a benzene ring and a hydroxyl group attached to an acetonitrile moiety. Its chemical structure features a hydroxyl (-OH) group positioned on the benzene ring, which contributes to its reactivity and potential for hydrogen bonding. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its aromatic nature. The presence of the nitrile group (-C≡N) indicates that it may participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and substitutions. Benzeneacetonitrile, 2-hydroxy- may be utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and specific reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other functional groups. Safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and potential hazards, as compounds containing nitriles can be toxic and require appropriate precautions during use.
