| 4-Cyanophenol Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white crystalline powder or chips | | Uses | Intermediates of Liquid Crystals | | Uses | 4-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. | | Preparation | 4-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 Methods | Crystallise the phenol from pet ether, *benzene or water and keep it under vacuum over P2O5.
