<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><strong>3-Methoxybenzonitrile</strong> (CAS 610-45-7, C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>7</sub>NO) is an aromatic nitrile synthesized via Sandmeyer reaction or direct cyanation of meta-anisole. It serves as a critical intermediate in fine chemical manufacturing.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li>Pharmaceutical synthesis for heterocyclic drug scaffolds.</li>
<li>Pigment and dye production processes.</li>
<li>Agrochemical formulation development.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Store in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Requires PPE due to potential hydrolysis into toxic cyanide derivatives under acidic conditions.</p>
