Benzenepropanenitrile, b-hydroxy-a-methylene-

Description:

Benzenepropanenitrile, b-hydroxy-a-methylene- is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzene ring, a propanenitrile group, and a hydroxymethylene functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both aromatic and aliphatic systems, such as stability due to the resonance of the benzene ring and reactivity due to the presence of the nitrile and hydroxyl groups. It is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. The presence of the hydroxyl group suggests potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its solubility in polar solvents. Additionally, the nitrile group may impart certain reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. The compound may also exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks or environmental hazards.

2-[Hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]prop-2-enenitrile

CAS: 19362-96-0

2-[Hydroxy(phenyl)methyl]prop-2-enenitrile (2HMPE) is a crystalline compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of Botrytis cinerea. It does so by binding in an antibonding fashion to the hydrogen atoms on the phenyl ring. This interaction results in a stereoselective interaction with the hydrogen and hydroxyl groups, which leads to a decrease in the rate of dna synthesis. 2HMPE has also been shown to have an antibonding interaction with the C4-C5 double bond of the fluoroquinolone nucleus, which is responsible for its potent antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 2HMPE has also been shown to be useful as a fingerprinting reagent. The compound can be used as a standard for x-ray crystallography and molecular orbital theory, because it is soluble and non-toxic.
