Description
1,2-Benzenedicarbonitrile, 4,5-dimethyl- (CAS No. 36360-43-7) is a high-purity organic compound with the molecular formula C10H8N2, also known as 4,5-dimethylphthalonitrile. This aromatic dinitrile derivative is a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the preparation of phthalocyanine dyes, coordination complexes, and advanced materials. Its rigid benzene core and electron-withdrawing cyano groups make it an ideal precursor for designing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), catalysts, and optoelectronic materials. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (HPLC) and is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder, packaged under inert conditions to guarantee stability. Suitable for research and industrial applications, it is available in quantities ranging from grams to kilograms with customizable packaging options.
