CAS 31795-61-6

6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile

Description:

6-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile, with the CAS number 31795-61-6, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) and a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the pyridine ring, specifically at the 6 and 3 positions, respectively. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential as a building block in organic synthesis, while the cyano group can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions. The compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxymethyl group. Its chemical properties make it of interest in medicinal chemistry and materials science, where it may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
