CAS 4368-06-3

3-Hydroxybutanenitrile

Description:

3-Hydroxybutanenitrile, with the CAS number 4368-06-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) in its structure. This compound is a derivative of butyric acid, where the hydroxyl group is located at the third carbon of the butane chain. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in water due to the polar nature of the hydroxyl group. The presence of the nitrile group contributes to its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of amino acids and other nitrogen-containing compounds. 3-Hydroxybutanenitrile can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and condensation reactions. Its properties, such as boiling point and density, can vary based on environmental conditions and purity. As with many nitriles, it may exhibit toxicity and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in laboratory settings.
