Description
4-Cyanobenzyl alcohol is an aromatic bifunctional compound supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory synthesis and biochemical research. It combines a benzylic alcohol with a nitrile substituent, described by the empirical formula C₈H₇NO and a molar mass of 133,15 g/mol, and is registered under CAS number 874-89-5. Dual functionality supports its use as a versatile intermediate when both alcohol and cyano handles are needed in multi-step sequences or derivatisation work. The product is available in a 250 g pack, offering a convenient quantity for repeated preparations, scale-up trials, and shared laboratory stocks. Clear molar-mass and formula data assist weighing, solution make-up, and stoichiometric planning. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, the grade meets typical expectations for fine chemicals where CAS-linked identity and a stated minimum purity are required. Research groups can incorporate the specifications into purchasing records, batch tracking, and analytical cross-checks. The larger pack size is practical for projects with ongoing demand while remaining manageable for standard chemical storage organisation in research and development settings.

Questions about 4-Cyanobenzyl alcohol
What is this article?
4-Cyanobenzyl alcohol is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
