Chemical Structure

4-Cyano-3-nitrobenzyl alcohol CAS 89939-36-6 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 4-Cyano-3-nitrobenzyl alcohol (C8H6N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 178.14 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
