Description:
6-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile, with the CAS number 50501-38-7, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the 6-position and a cyano group (-C≡N) at the 2-position of the pyridine ring. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, while the cyano group can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions. The compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group.
