Thiocyanic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl ester

Description:

Thiocyanic acid, 4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl ester, also known as 4-hydroxy-3-methylphenyl thiocyanate, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thiocyanate functional group (-SCN) attached to a phenolic structure. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methyl group (-CH3) on the aromatic ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the thiocyanate group imparts specific reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coordination with metal ions. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and agricultural applications. Its solubility in organic solvents and moderate stability under standard conditions are notable characteristics. However, like many thiocyanates, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
