2-Chloro-6-methyl-3-pyridinecarbonitrile（Cat No.:R022637）is a halogenated heteroaromatic compound featuring a chloro group at the 2-position, a methyl group at the 6-position, and a nitrile at the 3-position on a pyridine ring. This molecular arrangement makes it a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. The chloro substituent enables nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the nitrile group serves as a reactive site for further chemical modifications, such as amidation or heterocycle formation. Its electron-deficient pyridine ring enhances its reactivity in cross-coupling and other functionalization reactions in medicinal chemistry.
