Description

3-Pyridinecarbonitrile,4-Amino-2-Methyl-(9Ci) is a high-purity, multi-functional heterocyclic building block of significant commercial and research interest. Its core value lies in its versatile pyridine core, which is strategically substituted with amino and nitrile functional groups, making it a critical intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules. This compound is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries for creating novel active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the development of novel drug candidates, particularly in kinase inhibitor and central nervous system (CNS) therapeutic research.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides due to its bioactive pyridine scaffold.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands used in homogeneous catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of organic electronic materials, dyes, and photoactive compounds.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: A vital starting material for custom synthesis projects and scale-up processes under cGMP or ISO standards.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Fundamental building block in medicinal chemistry labs for structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis.

Quality Control

Our production of 3-Pyridinecarbonitrile,4-Amino-2-Methyl-(9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is fully characterized and tested against rigorous in-house specifications, which typically include identity confirmation (IR, NMR), purity assay (HPLC), and control of key impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance. Keep away from incompatible materials.
