2-Cyanophenol is an ortho-substituted phenolic nitrile offered at a minimum purity of 95 % for synthetic and biochemical laboratory use. It is identified by CAS number 611-20-1, with the empirical formula C₇H₅NO and a molar mass of 119,12 g/mol. The molecule combines a phenolic hydroxyl with a nitrile group on the aromatic ring and shows a boiling point of 149 °C, data that support process design and handling decisions in organic synthesis. 2-Cyanophenol serves as a building block for benzoxazole-type structures, ester and ether derivatives, and other functionalized aromatics where both phenol and cyano reactivity can be exploited. Product from manufacturer Carl ROTH is positioned for laboratories that require well-documented fine chemicals with clear CAS and formula information. Applications include multi-step organic synthesis, intermediate manufacture, and exploratory medicinal-chemistry routes that start from simple cyanophenols. Defined purity, molar mass, and boiling point help chemists calculate charges and record materials consistently. The substantial pack size is practical for groups that consume 2-cyanophenol regularly in research or pilot synthetic workflows.
