2-(4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (CAS 15978-50-6, C9H9NO2) is a key intermediate synthesized via cyanomethylation of vanillin. It serves as a critical precursor in the pharmaceutical industry for constructing chiral amine scaffolds.
Store under inert atmosphere at 2-8°C. Avoid contact with skin and eyes; use appropriate PPE due to potential hydrolysis releasing toxic HCN gas.
