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.
