Product Information

• Name: 3-Chloro-4-cyanopyridine
• Synonyms: 3-Chloro-4-pyridinecarbonitrile3-Chloro-isonicotinonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Chloro-4-cyanopyridine is a pyridine ring with an anionic group at the 3-position. It is used as a reagent in cross-coupling reactions and as a precursor to heterocycles. The compound can be prepared by reacting 4-cyanopyridine with chloride in the presence of UV radiation or triazole. The yield of this reaction depends on the type of nucleophile used. 3-Chloro-4-cyanopyridine is one of the three isomers found for 4-cyanopyridine, which are distinguished by their relative rates of hydrolysis in water.; 3-Chloro-4-cyanopyridine has been found to react with nucleophiles such as thiols, alcohols, amines, and phenols to form adducts that are useful intermediates in organic synthesis.
