4-Cyanophenol（Cat No.:R062435）is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a hydroxyl group and a cyano group positioned para to each other on a benzene ring. This dual-functional structure makes it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials. The phenolic group offers reactivity for esterification and etherification, while the nitrile group enables further transformations such as amidation or reduction. 4-Cyanophenol’s electron-withdrawing properties also enhance its suitability in cross-coupling reactions and heterocyclic chemistry for medicinal and industrial applications.
