CAS Number: 52605-97-7
6-Chloro-2-Methylnicotinonitrile is a pyridine-based nitrile intermediate used in the manufacture of herbicidal compounds, particularly nicotinic-acid type active substances. The combination of a chloro leaving group and a nitrile function offers multiple handles for further chemical elaboration. This compound undergoes nucleophilic aromatic substitution readily, making it adaptable in diverse synthetic routes for crop protection chemistry. AB Enterprises sources and supplies this intermediate with stringent quality control to support agrochemical manufacturers. Its consistent purity profile helps reduce variability in downstream herbicide synthesis steps.
