2-(4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile(Cat No.:L033727)is a heteroaromatic compound with the molecular formula C7H5BrN2. It consists of a pyridine ring substituted with a bromine atom at the 4-position and a cyanomethyl group (–CH₂CN) at the 2-position. This compound is a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis, offering reactive sites for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck. The nitrile group enables formation of amides, acids, or amines, while the bromine serves as a good leaving group. It is typically a solid, requiring proper handling due to potential irritant properties.
