3-Hydroxy-2-methylbenzonitrile, with the CAS number 55289-04-8, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a nitrile group (-C≡N) attached to a benzene ring. This compound features a methyl group (-CH3) at the second position and a hydroxyl group at the third position relative to the nitrile group, which is located at the first position of the aromatic ring. The presence of these functional groups contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the hydroxyl group. The compound's properties, such as melting point, boiling point, and specific reactivity, can vary based on its purity and the conditions under which it is handled. As with many nitriles, it may pose certain health and environmental risks, necessitating appropriate safety measures during handling and use.
