Product Information

• Name: 2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile is a phenyl ring with a macrocyclization that has anisotropic properties. It is soluble in chloroform and benzene, but insoluble in ethers. This compound can be modified to form a macrocycle and is used as an antidiabetic drug. 2-Chloro-4-hydroxybenzonitrile has been synthesized using the crystal compound of cyclohexane, which has been modified to form a macrocyclic structure. The synthesis of this compound was optimized for increased stability and decreased toxicity by changing the substitution pattern on the phenyl ring. The synthesis was also done using liquid crystals, which resulted in an increase in optical activity due to its chiral structure.
