Description:4-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzonitrile, with the CAS number 4421-08-3, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a methoxy group (-OCH₃) attached to a benzene ring, along with a nitrile group (-CN). This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. Its molecular structure contributes to its potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its ability to participate in chemical reactions such as nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions. The presence of the hydroxyl and methoxy groups can influence its reactivity and polarity, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, the nitrile group can serve as a functional handle for further chemical modifications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
