2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzenecarbonitrile

CAS: 6812-16-4

2-Hydroxy-3-methoxybenzenecarbonitrile (2HMB) is a reagent that is used in the synthesis of benzofurans. It is an analog of 2,2'-dichlorodiethyl carbonate. The reaction mechanism involves the conversion of 2HMB to 2-chloro-3-methoxybenzenecarbonitrile, followed by the elimination of chloride to yield 3-hydroxybenzofuran. This reagent also has the ability to catalyze reactions such as demethylation and alkylations.
