2-(2-Chloropyridin-4-yl)acetonitrile(Cat No.:L025109)is a heteroaromatic compound composed of a pyridine ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the 2-position and a cyanomethyl group (–CH₂CN) at the 4-position. The combination of the electron-deficient pyridine ring, halogen, and nitrile functionality makes this molecule a valuable synthetic intermediate in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical development. The nitrile group serves as a handle for further chemical transformations, such as amide formation or reduction, while the chloro-substituent allows for cross-coupling or nucleophilic aromatic substitution, facilitating the construction of more complex heterocyclic and bioactive molecules.
