2-Cyanophenol (TCI C1045, CAS 611-20-1), also known as salicylonitrile, carries adjacent hydroxyl and nitrile groups on an aromatic ring. This ortho arrangement makes it a convenient precursor for benzoxazoles and other fused heterocyclic systems through intramolecular cyclization. The phenol can be etherified or acylated while the nitrile can be hydrolyzed or reduced, giving broad synthetic flexibility. AMI Scientific offers 5 g and 25 g packs; keep the solid tightly sealed and protected from light and air.
