2-Cyano-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine

Description:
2-Cyano-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is substituted at the 2-position with a cyano group and at the 4-position with a trifluoromethyl group. This compound is typically a pale yellow to light brown solid, exhibiting a relatively high melting point. The presence of the cyano group contributes to its polarity and potential reactivity, while the trifluoromethyl group enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its electronic properties. 2-Cyano-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine is often utilized in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its unique structure allows for diverse applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of compounds with specific biological activities. Additionally, the trifluoromethyl group can impart unique characteristics such as increased metabolic stability and altered pharmacokinetics. As with many fluorinated compounds, handling should be done with care due to potential environmental and health impacts.
