5-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile

Description:
5-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom. The presence of a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the 5-position and a cyano group (-C≡N) at the 2-position contributes to its unique chemical properties. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It may exhibit moderate to high stability under standard conditions, but like many nitriles, it can be reactive under certain conditions, particularly in nucleophilic addition reactions. The compound's functional groups suggest potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as intermediates in organic synthesis. Additionally, its structure allows for various chemical modifications, making it a versatile building block in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
