CAS 874-89-5

4-Cyanobenzyl alcohol

Description:

4-Cyanobenzyl alcohol, with the CAS number 874-89-5, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a cyanide group and a hydroxyl group attached to a benzyl structure. This compound features a benzene ring substituted with a cyanomethyl group at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts alcohol-like properties, making it soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, while the cyanide group contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. 4-Cyanobenzyl alcohol can be used as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its chemical properties include the ability to participate in nucleophilic reactions and hydrogen bonding, which can influence its behavior in various chemical environments. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound due to the toxicity associated with cyanide derivatives.
