Product Information

• Name: 3-Cyanobenzoic acid
• Synonyms: m-Cyanobenzoic acid3-Carboxybenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Cyanobenzoic acid is a chemical intermediate that is used to synthesize 3-cyanobenzamide. It is also a byproduct of the synthesis of benzonitrile and can be found in metal surface residues and environmental pollution. The molecule has two functional groups, one electron withdrawing and one electron donating, which are necessary for its stability. This compound can be found in high concentrations when it reacts with metal surfaces or organic solvents. 3-Cyanobenzamide was synthesized from 3-cyanobenzoic acid as an amide, which has been shown to have antimicrobial properties against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and Enterococcus faecalis.
