Benzonitrile, 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 2-hydroxy-5-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzonitrile group with a hydroxyl (-OH) and a methyl (-CH3) substituent on the aromatic ring. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring bonded to a nitrile group (–C≡N) and a hydroxyl group at the ortho position relative to the nitrile, along with a methyl group at the meta position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the hydroxyl group. The compound may participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions, owing to the functional groups present. It is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
