3-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzonitrile(CAT: L040454) is a functionalized aromatic compound featuring a hydroxyl group at the meta position, a methoxy group at the para position, and a nitrile group on the benzene ring. This molecule serves as a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical synthesis. The hydroxyl and methoxy groups provide electron-donating properties and enhance reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution, while the nitrile group allows for further transformations into amides, carboxylic acids, or heterocycles.
