4-Methyl-3-pyridinecarbonitrile

Description:

4-Methyl-3-pyridinecarbonitrile, with the CAS number 5444-01-9, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a cyano group (-C≡N) attached to the carbon adjacent to the nitrogen in the pyridine ring, as well as a methyl group (-CH₃) at the fourth position. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. The presence of the cyano group imparts notable polarity and reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 4-Methyl-3-pyridinecarbonitrile is soluble in polar organic solvents and exhibits moderate stability under standard conditions. Its chemical properties allow it to participate in nucleophilic reactions, and it can serve as a building block for more complex organic molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many nitriles, it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
