Chemistry & industry
Uses & manufacturing
Applications
UsesIntermediates of Liquid Crystals
Uses4-Cyanophenol is a precursor for the synthesis of a vasodilator, Levcromakalim. Bromination of 4-cyanophenol results in bromoxynil, a commercial herbicide. It can also be used as a component of deep eutectic solvent (DES) mixture.
Preparation methods
Preparation4-Cyanophenol is produced by reaction of 4-bromophenol with copper (I) cyanide, by ammoxidation of p-cresol, by reaction of 4-chlorobenzonitrile with sodium methoxide, or by the catalyzed gas phase reaction of ethyl 4-hydroxybenzoate with ammonia.
