TCI C1285 Ethylene Cyanohydrin (3-hydroxypropionitrile, CAS 109-78-4) is a polar liquid bearing both hydroxyl and nitrile functionality on a three-carbon chain. The nitrile can be hydrolysed or reduced, while the hydroxyl group is available for etherification, esterification, or conversion into a leaving group. It serves as a classical intermediate in cyanoethylation chemistry and as a highly polar medium in materials and electrochemical research. AMI Scientific supplies 25 mL and 500 mL pack sizes; the compound is toxic and must be handled in a fume hood with appropriate protective equipment.
