3 4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile（CAS# 17345-61-8)

3 4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile（CAS# 17345-61-8) introduction

3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile is an organic compound. It has two hydroxyl groups and one substituent group of the nitrile group.

Properties: It is soluble in some organic solvents such as ethanol, ether and chloroform, insoluble in water. It is relatively stable in air, but may react when encountering strong oxidizing agents.

Use:
3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile is commonly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis.

Method:
3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile can be obtained by reducing p-nitrobenzonitrile. The specific preparation method may include the reaction of p-nitrobenzonitrile with ferrous ions or nitrite to reduce it to form 3,4-dihydroxybenzonitrile.

Safety Information:
3,4-Dihydroxybenzonitrile is generally safe to use under routine laboratory conditions, but the following should be noted:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid inhaling their dust or gases;
Personal protective equipment should be worn during operation, such as laboratory gloves and protective glasses;
During its use or storage, contact with strong oxidants and ignition sources should be avoided to prevent dangerous reactions;
Store 3,4-dihydroxybenzonitrile in an airtight container, away from fire and high temperatures.
