Application

4-Formyl-3-methoxybenzonitrile serves as a key building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, particularly for angiotensin receptor blockers and CNS-active compounds. The formyl group enables Schiff base formation for heterocyclic synthesis, while the methoxy moiety provides electron-donating effects for electrophilic substitutions. Researchers utilize this compound in the development of liquid crystal materials due to its rigid aromatic core and polar substituents. It also finds application in metal-organic framework (MOF) construction as a functionalized linker molecule.
