Description:
2-Hydroxy-2-methylbutyronitrile, with the CAS number 4111-08-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to a branched carbon chain. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding, while the nitrile group contributes to its polarity. The compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals.
