5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarbonitrile

Description:
5-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-furancarbonitrile, with the CAS number 89149-70-2, is an organic compound characterized by its furan ring structure, which is a five-membered aromatic ring containing oxygen. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to the furan ring, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group allows for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its solubility in polar solvents, while the nitrile group can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic additions and cycloadditions. This compound may be of interest in the fields of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science due to its unique structural features and potential reactivity. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and appropriate laboratory practices.
