CAS 17345-61-8

3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile

Description:

3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile, with the CAS number 17345-61-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a nitrile (-C≡N) functional group attached to a benzene ring. This compound features two hydroxyl groups located at the 3 and 4 positions of the benzene ring, which contribute to its reactivity and solubility in polar solvents. The nitrile group introduces a polar character to the molecule, enhancing its potential for hydrogen bonding and interactions with other chemical species. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile is typically a white to off-white solid and may exhibit properties such as moderate melting and boiling points, depending on its purity and crystalline form. It is often used in organic synthesis, as a building block for more complex molecules, and may have applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals due to its functional groups. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.

3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile is a chemical compound that is found in soybean lipoxygenase. The molecule has been shown to be an excellent Michaelis-Menten substrate and hydrogen bonding partner. It also reacts with chlorine to form chlorinating agents such as 3,4-dichlorobenzonitrile and 3,4-dibromobenzonitrile. 3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile can act as a nucleophile and forms stable complexes when reacted with hydroxyl group compounds such as protocatechuic acid or reaction solution. This chemical is reactive and can be activated by redox cycling or light.
3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile has been used to treat protocatechuic acid levels in the blood of patients with chronic liver disease who are being treated for alcoholism.
