4-Cyanophenol Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Propertieswhite crystalline powder or chips
UsesIntermediates of Liquid Crystals
Uses4-Cyanophenol is a precursor for the synthesis of a vasodilator, Levcromakalim. Bromination of 4-cyanophenol results in bromoxynil, a commercial herbicide. It can also be used as a component of deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixture.
Preparation4-Cyanophenol is produced by reaction of 4-bromophenol with copper (I) cyanide, by ammoxidation of p-cresol, by reaction of 4-chlorobenzonitrile with sodium methoxide, or by the catalyzed gas phase reaction of ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate with ammonia.
Synthesis Reference(s)The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 39, p. 3343, 1974 DOI: 10.1021/jo00937a007
Purification MethodsCrystallise the phenol from pet ether, *benzene or water and keep it under vacuum over P2O5. [Bernasconi & Paschelis J Am Chem Soc 108 2969 1986.] [Beilstein 10 H 167, 10 IV 441.]
