Description

3-Pyridinecarbonitrile (CAS No. 100-54-9), also known as 3-cyanopyridine or nicotinonitrile, is a high-purity organic compound with the molecular formula C₆H₄N₂. This versatile nitrile derivative features a pyridine ring substituted with a cyano group at the 3-position, making it a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical synthesis. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ??98% purity (HPLC) and is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder with excellent solubility in common organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Ideal for research and industrial applications, each batch is accompanied by comprehensive analytical documentation including ¹H NMR, HPLC chromatograms, and mass spectrometry data. Packaged under inert gas in amber glass bottles to ensure stability, this compound is suitable for use in heterocyclic chemistry, medicinal chemistry research, and as a precursor for vitamin B₃ (niacin) derivatives.

Application

3-Pyridinecarbonitrile serves as a key synthetic intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, particularly for antihypertensive and antitubercular agents. In agrochemical research, it’s utilized as a building block for pyridine-based pesticides and herbicides. The compound also finds application in material science as a precursor for conductive polymers and coordination complexes with transition metals. Researchers value its reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions and as a starting material for the synthesis of nicotinamide derivatives.
