4-Pyridinecarbonitrile,2-ethenyl-

Description:

4-Pyridinecarbonitrile, 2-ethenyl- 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 fourth position of the pyridine ring and a vinyl group (-CH=CH2) at the second position. The presence of these functional groups imparts specific chemical properties, such as the ability to participate in nucleophilic reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the cyano group and the reactivity of the vinyl group. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents and may exhibit moderate polarity. 4-Pyridinecarbonitrile, 2-ethenyl- is of interest in various fields, including organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, due to its potential applications in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.
