4-cyanopyridine

4-Cyanopyridine (CAS 100-48-1 ), also known as isonicotinic acid nitrile and abbreviated as 4-CP, is a pyridine-based nitrile building block used across pharmaceutical synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. It functions primarily as a reactive intermediate, enabling the construction of more complex heterocyclic structures through its dual nitrile and pyridine functionalities in various chemical processes. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, 4-CP is a key precursor in the synthesis of antifungal agents, antivirals, and other nitrogen-containing active pharmaceutical ingredients for the global market. It is used in the production of ligands and coordination complexes that serve as catalysts or catalyst precursors in organometallic chemistry and advanced material science applications. Agrochemical formulators use it as a building block for pyridine-derived herbicides and fungicides. In flavor chemistry, isonicotinic acid nitrile contributes to select fragrance and flavor compound synthesis. This is particularly useful where pyridine-ring structures are required. 4-Cyanopyridine is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline solid for industrial and laboratory use. Standard commercial grades include technical and high-purity specifications suitable for pharmaceutical intermediate and research applications. Packaging typically ranges from kilogram-scale to bulk orders. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality for multi-hundred kilogram bulk orders for industrial synthesis. We maintain strict adherence to safety and handling protocols for all chemical shipments. Contact us for supply of 4-cyanopyridine Request Quote
