Description4-Hydroxybenzeneacetonitrile, also known as 4-hydroxybenzyl cyanide or 4-hydroxyphenylacetate nitrile, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyl cyanides. These are organic compounds containing an acetonitrile with one hydrogen replaced by a phenyl group. 4-Hydroxybenzeneacetonitrile is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. 4-Hydroxyphenylacetonitrile is found in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, Drypetes gossweileri and Moringa oleifera. 4-Hydroxyphenylacetonitrile was first documented in 1998 (PMID: 9677329). Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 4-Hydroxybenzeneacetonitrile (PMID: 12711800) (PMID: 15621622).
