Chemical Structure

Basic Info
4-Methoxybenzonitrile (4-Methoxybenzonitrile, CAS No. : 874-90-8) is a cyano aromatic compound with the molecular formula C8H7NO. It has a molecular mass of 133.15g/mol. It has a structure consisting of two methoxy groups (-OCH3) connected to the para positions of the benzene rings. The ether solubility and the reactivity are both present. At room temperature, the compound is a white or light yellow solid with a melting range of 62-65degC. It is only slightly soluble, but readily soluble, in organic solvents like ethanol and Acetone. Under alkaline conditions its cyano group can easily be hydrolyzed into a carboxylic acids, or converted to an amino group in reducing conditions. It is a key building block in organic synthesis.

Product Packaging
1. Intermediates for pharmaceuticals and pesticides
As a key synthetic building block, 4-Methoxybenzonitrile can achieve various transformations through its active cyano and methoxy groups:
Drug synthesis: cyano hydrolysis generates 4-Methoxybenzonitrile, which is further esterified to prepare local anesthetics (such as methoxybenzoates); after amination, it can be used as an aniline precursor for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as celecoxib).
Manufacturing pesticides: Take part in the synthesis and cyclization of the phenyl-ether structure for pyrethroid insecticides or the heterocyclic skeletons of triazole fungalicides.
Research and development of anticancer drugs: its derivatives are used to optimize the structure of protein kinase (such as CDK4/6 inhibitors).
2. Field of functional materials
Liquid crystal monomer: 4-Methoxybenzonitrile is used as a polar mesogen unit in nematic liquid crystal compositions of TFT-LCD displays (such as mixing with diphenyl cyanide compounds to adjust dielectric anisotropy).
Polymer materials: polycondensation cyano-diamine to produce high temperature resistant fibers of polyamide, or as crosslinker modified components of UV curing coats.
3. Special applications of organic synthesis
Photosensitizer pre-cursor: It is modified and used to synthesize photoinitiators, such as aamino ketones, which improves the curing of 3D printed resins.
Research on cyano compounds as SEI film-forming additions to lithium-ion batteries.
Fragrance derivatization: After reduction to 4-Methoxybenzonitrile, jasmine-like floral fragrances (such as methoxyphenylacetic acid esters) can be synthesized.
