2-Pyridylacetonitrile（Cat No.:L011394）is an organic compound with the molecular formula C7H6N2. It consists of a pyridine ring attached to an acetonitrile group (–CH₂CN) at the 2-position. This structure makes it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and coordination chemistry. The nitrile group offers potential reactivity in nucleophilic addition or condensation reactions, while the pyridine ring contributes to its basicity and ability to coordinate with metals. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, soluble in organic solvents, and should be handled with standard laboratory precautions.
