Ref. 3D-FD59586

Product Information

• Name: 2,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile is a mesomorphic liquid with a helical structure. It can be either chiral or achiral depending on the temperature. 2,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile has low molecular mass and can be used for the synthesis of organic compounds. This compound has been synthesized by the reaction between an azobenzene and an alcohol group. This reaction takes place at low temperatures and leads to an iron chelating agent that is stable in both acid and base conditions. The activation energy for this reaction is low, making it spontaneous.
