4-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile

Description:
4-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile, identified by its CAS number 71935-32-5, is a heterocyclic organic compound featuring a pyridine ring substituted with a hydroxymethyl group and a cyano group. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown solid appearance. It is characterized by its polar nature due to the presence of the hydroxymethyl and cyano functional groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding and dipole interactions. The compound is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. Its chemical structure allows for potential reactivity in various organic synthesis applications, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of the cyano group suggests potential for nucleophilic reactions, while the hydroxymethyl group can serve as a site for further functionalization. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many organic compounds, it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
