4-cyanopyridine
4-cyanopyridine is a high-purity heterocyclic intermediate essential for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). It serves as a primary precursor for Isoniazid, a critical medication used in the global treatment of tuberculosis.
This crystalline solid is valued for its excellent reactivity in catalytic hydrogenation and hydrolysis reactions. It consistently meets a purity level of ≥99%, ensuring high yields and stability during sensitive industrial chemical synthesis cycles.
As a versatile specialty intermediate, it is also utilized in the production of nicotinic acid derivatives and specific agrochemical compounds. Its role as a molecular building block offers efficiency for large-scale organic synthesis operations.
4-cyanopyridine
- API Manufacturing: Acts as the fundamental precursor for the production of Isoniazid and other essential antitubercular drugs.
- Vitamin Production: Employed as a chemical intermediate in the industrial synthesis of Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3) and Nicotinamide.
- Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the formulation of specialized pesticides and herbicides that require stable pyridine-based structures.
4-cyanopyridine is harmful if swallowed or in contact with skin and acts as a skin and eye irritant. Handling requires a fume hood, nitrile gloves, and ANSI-approved safety goggles to prevent exposure.
