4-Hydroxy-2-methylbenzonitrile, with the CAS number 14143-26-1, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with a hydroxyl group and a nitrile group. It features a methyl group at the ortho position relative to the hydroxyl group, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, while the nitrile group contributes to its overall polarity. The hydroxyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding, enhancing its interactions with other molecules. 4-Hydroxy-2-methylbenzonitrile may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity can be attributed to the functional groups present, allowing for potential transformations such as nucleophilic substitutions or electrophilic aromatic substitutions. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
