5-Hydroxybenzene-1,3-Dicarbonitrile

Description:

5-Hydroxybenzene-1,3-Dicarbonitrile, also known by its CAS number 79370-78-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of two cyano groups (-C≡N) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a dicarbonitrile structure, indicating that it has two nitrile functional groups located at the 1 and 3 positions relative to the hydroxyl group on the benzene ring. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics to the molecule, potentially influencing its solubility in various solvents. The compound is typically used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals. Its reactivity can be attributed to the electron-withdrawing nature of the cyano groups, which can affect the compound's behavior in chemical reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as compounds with nitrile groups can pose health risks if not managed properly.
