Hydroxy acetonitrile, also known as glycolonitrile, is a key intermediate in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C2H3NO and CAS number is 96-05-1. Produced via the reaction of formaldehyde with hydrogen cyanide, it serves as a precursor for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Strictly store in sealed containers below 10°C to prevent polymerization. Use appropriate PPE due to toxicity and potential release of HCN gas upon decomposition. Avoid contact with acids or oxidizers.
