Benzonitrile, 3-amino-5-bromo-4-hydroxy-

Description:

Benzonitrile, 3-amino-5-bromo-4-hydroxy- is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzonitrile group, which consists of a benzene ring attached to a nitrile functional group. The specific structure includes an amino group (-NH2), a bromo substituent (-Br), and a hydroxy group (-OH) positioned on the benzene ring at the 3, 5, and 4 positions, respectively. This compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of aromatic compounds, such as stability and the potential for electrophilic substitution reactions. The presence of the amino and hydroxy groups suggests that it may engage in hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility in polar solvents. Additionally, the bromine atom can serve as a site for further chemical modifications. The compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals or as an intermediate in organic synthesis due to its functional groups. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
