Description

2-Chloro-4,6-dimethylnicotinonitrile is a chemical compound with the molecular formula CHClNO, which is a white solid. It has been shown to be an effective neonicotinoid insecticide for the control of various insect pests. 2-Chloro-4,6-dimethylnicotinonitrile has been shown to be toxic to honeybees, but not as toxic as other neonicotinoids such as imidacloprid and thiamethoxam. This compound has also been used in the synthesis of phenacyl chloride, a chemical intermediate used in organic synthesis.
2-Chloro-4,6-dimethylnicotinonitrile is synthesized by refluxing anthranilic acid and diazonium salt under the action of hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfide. The product crystallizes from water or alcohol at room temperature. Further purification can be achieved by recry
