4-Hydroxy-N-methylbutanamide

Description:
4-Hydroxy-N-methylbutanamide, also known by its CAS number 37941-69-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an amide functional group (-C(=O)N-) in its structure. This compound features a butanamide backbone with a methyl group attached to the nitrogen atom, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The hydroxyl group imparts some degree of polarity, which can influence its solubility in water and organic solvents. Additionally, the presence of the amide group suggests potential for hydrogen bonding, affecting its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. 4-Hydroxy-N-methylbutanamide may be utilized in various chemical syntheses and could have applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, although specific uses may vary. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
