3-Hydroxypyridine-2-methanol is identified by CAS 14047-53-1 and molecular formula C6H7NO2. PubChem assigns the verified record CID 84169. The associated structure is represented by SMILES C1=CC(=C(N=C1)CO)O and InChIKey ZJRBRKUGRKKZOO-UHFFFAOYSA-N. The CAS number, formula, SMILES, and InChIKey are consistent with the structure stored for this page.
The verified connectivity contains a six-membered pyridine ring with one ring nitrogen, a hydroxy substituent at position 3, and a hydroxymethyl group at position 2. The molecular formula accounts for six carbon atoms, seven hydrogen atoms, one nitrogen atom, and two oxygen atoms. PubChem uses the title 3-Hydroxypyridine-2-methanol. The existing wording 3-Hydroxy-2-pyridinemethanol refers to the same verified connectivity, but the PubChem form provides clearer placement of the ring and methanol terms.
For a consistent catalog identity, the page should retain the two substituent positions and should not collapse the name to an unspecified hydroxypyridinemethanol. It should also remain distinct from positional isomers in which the hydroxy or hydroxymethyl group occupies another ring position. CAS 14047-53-1, PubChem CID 84169, molecular formula C6H7NO2, SMILES C1=CC(=C(N=C1)CO)O, and InChIKey ZJRBRKUGRKKZOO-UHFFFAOYSA-N are the verified identifier set. Using these values together keeps the human-readable name and machine-readable structure synchronized without adding unverified product claims. The CID independently anchors this exact ring-substitution pattern in the PubChem record.
