5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-methylbenzonitrile

Description:
5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-methylbenzonitrile, with the CAS number 315188-34-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a benzene ring substituted with both a hydroxymethyl group and a nitrile group. The presence of the hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) group indicates that it can participate in hydrogen bonding, potentially enhancing its solubility in polar solvents. The nitrile group (-C≡N) contributes to the compound's reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate to high stability under standard conditions. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, the presence of both functional groups allows for further derivatization, which can lead to the development of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
