2-Cyano-3-methylpyridine CAS:20970-75-6
2-Cyano-3-methylpyridine finds application as an industrial chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate. It is mainly used in the agricultural sector for synthesizing fungicide, insecticide and acaricide molecules via substitution, addition and cyclization reactions. In the pharmaceutical industry, it acts as a building block for beta-blockers, diuretics and other cardiovascular drugs. It is also employed to produce vitamins, pigments, dyes and perfume ingredients. 2-Cyano-3-methylpyridine is valuable for research as it undergoes various nucleophilic additions and substitutions smoothly under mild conditions. This helps in investigating and developing new drug entities, agrochemicals and functional materials. It further assists analytical laboratories in synthesizing marker compounds and internal standards for qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex sample mixtures.
