:

2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzonitrile

Description:
2-Hydroxy-6-methylbenzonitrile, with the CAS number 73289-66-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a methyl group (-CH3) at the 6-position and a hydroxyl group at the 2-position of the aromatic ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of both the hydroxyl and nitrile functional groups allows for potential hydrogen bonding and reactivity in various chemical reactions, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, its structural features may influence its biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
