4-Pyridinecarbonitrile,2-(hydroxymethyl)-

Description:

4-Pyridinecarbonitrile, 2-(hydroxymethyl)- 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 cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the fourth position of the pyridine ring and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the second position. The presence of these functional groups imparts specific chemical properties, such as the ability to participate in nucleophilic reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the cyano group and the potential for hydrogen bonding from the hydroxymethyl group. This compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its solubility in polar solvents is influenced by the hydroxymethyl group, while the cyano group contributes to its reactivity. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-4-carbonitrile

CAS: 51454-63-8

2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-4-carbonitrile is a methyl ester of 4-cyanopyridine and cysteine, which are two natural amino acids. This compound has been found to be an intermediate in the biosynthesis of thiazoles. It can also be synthesized from the coupling of 2-cyanopyridines with aldehydes or ketones using metal catalysts, such as palladium or platinum. 2-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-4-carbonitrile was first identified in luciferin, a biomimetic compound that produces light when oxidized by an enzyme called luciferase.
