It also shows important value in the development of pesticides. As a raw material for the synthesis of some high-efficiency pesticides, it can optimize the structure of pesticide molecules, improve the poisoning effect of pesticides on pests and the protection performance of crops. Like the creation of some new insecticides, 3-pyridyl acetonitrile has participated in the construction of molecular structures, which can enhance the effect of insecticides on the nervous system of pests and improve insecticidal efficiency.
In the field of materials science, it also has applications. In the synthesis of specific functional materials, 3-pyridyl acetonitrile can be used as a functional monomer to polymerize with other compounds to form materials with special properties.

3-Pyridine acetonitrile is a kind of organic compound. It has specific physical properties.
Under normal temperature, it is a colorless to light yellow liquid. Its appearance is clear and has a special smell. Although it is not a pungent odor, it is also different from the ordinary fragrance. It is a unique smell that can make those with a keen sense of smell aware of its existence.
When it comes to the melting point, the melting point is about -20 ° C. At this temperature, it changes from liquid to solid, and the force between molecules changes, causing its shape to change. The boiling point is in the range of 260-265 ° C. When the temperature rises to this range, the molecules are energized and break free from each other and vaporize from the liquid state. < Br >
Its density is about 1.12 g/cm ³, which is slightly heavier than water. When placed in water, it will settle at the bottom. Because the molecular arrangement is different from that of water, the density is different.
In terms of solubility, it shows good solubility in common organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Due to the principle of similarity compatibility, its molecular structure is compatible with the force between organic solvent molecules and can be uniformly dispersed. However, in water, the solubility is quite limited, only slightly soluble. Due to the poor matching of molecular polarity and water molecular polarity, it is difficult to miscible in large quantities. < Br >
Volatility is relatively low. In the environment of normal temperature and pressure, the rate of molecules escaping from the liquid surface and entering the gas phase is slow, and it is easier to store. There is no need for too strict sealing measures to prevent volatilization and loss.
The physical properties of 3-pyridyl acetonitrile lay an important foundation for its application in many fields such as chemical industry and medicine. Each field makes good use of it according to its characteristics.

3-Pyridine acetonitrile, this is an organic compound with unique chemical properties. Its molecule contains a pyridine ring and an acetonitrile group, and its structure gives it special activity and reactivity.
In terms of physical properties, 3-pyridine acetonitrile is often colorless to light yellow liquid at room temperature and pressure, with a certain volatility and a special odor. Its physical constants such as boiling point and melting point are determined by intermolecular forces and structural characteristics. This compound has good solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but its solubility in water is relatively limited, due to the lipophilicity of pyridine ring and acetonitrile group. < Br >
When it comes to chemical properties, the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring has a lone pair of electrons, making it weakly basic and can react with acids to form salts. At the same time, the pyridine ring can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions, such as halogenation, nitrification, sulfonation, etc. The substitution position is mostly at the β position of the pyridine ring, because the electron cloud density at this position is relatively high. The cyanyl group in the acetonitrile group is highly unsaturated and can undergo various reactions. For example, it can hydrolyze to form corresponding carboxylic acids, or undergo addition reactions with nucleophiles to form new carbon-carbon or carbon-heteroatomic bonds. The chemical properties of
3-pyridine acetonitrile make it widely used in the field of organic synthesis It can be used as a key intermediate to prepare drugs, pesticides, dyes and other fine chemicals. Due to its special structure and reactivity, it can introduce specific functional groups to target compounds and construct complex molecular structures, which plays an important role in modern organic synthesis chemistry.

The synthesis method of 3-pyridine acetonitrile, although the ancient book "Tiangong Kaiwu" does not contain this substance, it can be obtained by chemical methods. One of the common synthesis methods is to use pyridine as a group to react with halogenated acetonitrile under suitable conditions. In a reactor, pyridine and halogenated acetonitrile are mixed in an appropriate ratio, and an appropriate amount of catalyst, such as potassium carbonate, is added in a state of heating and stirring to control the temperature and duration. The halogen atom of halogenated acetonitrile is quite active, and can undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction with the carbon site attached to the nitrogen atom of pyridine, thereby generating 3-pyridine acetonitrile.
The second method uses 3-pyridine carboxylic acid as the starting material. 3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid is first converted to its acyl chloride form, which is often obtained by reacting with sulfoxide chloride. The resulting acyl chloride is then reacted with a cyanide reagent, such as sodium cyanide, in a suitable organic solvent, such as dichloromethane. The carbonyl activity of acyl chloride is strong, and cyanide negative ions can attack it. After a series of transformations, hydrogen chloride is removed to obtain 3-pyridineacetonitrile.
Another person uses 3-pyridinemethanol as a raw material. 3-pyridinemethanol is first oxidized to 3-pyridineformaldehyde, and a mild oxidizing agent such as manganese dioxide can be used. 3-Pyridyl-acetonitrile can be prepared by the reaction of 3-pyridyl-formaldehyde with cyanide reagent, or by the Strecker reaction variant with ammonia and hydrocyanic acid, through addition, dehydration and other steps. All methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is necessary to choose the best one according to the actual availability of raw materials, cost and difficulty of reaction conditions.

3-Pyridyl acetonitrile is a chemical commonly used in organic synthesis. When storing and transporting this chemical, many points must be paid attention to.
The first word is storage. First, it must be placed in a cool and well-ventilated place. Because 3-pyridyl acetonitrile is prone to chemical reactions when heated, or there are dangerous conditions, it is necessary to have a cool environment. Second, it should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, bases, etc. This is because 3-pyridyl acetonitrile is chemically active, comes into contact with the above substances, or reacts violently, causing serious consequences such as combustion and explosion. Third, the storage area must be equipped with suitable materials to contain leaks. In case of accidental leakage, it can be handled in time to avoid diffusion and reduce harm.
Second talk about transportation. During transportation, the packaging must be stable. Ensure that the packaging of 3-pyridyl acetonitrile is not damaged in a bumpy and vibrating environment to prevent leakage. Transportation vehicles must also meet safety standards and have corresponding fire protection equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. And transportation personnel should be professionally trained and familiar with the characteristics and emergency treatment methods of 3-pyridyl acetonitrile. Once there is a leak during transportation, they can respond quickly and correctly. In case of fire, appropriate fire extinguishing agents should be selected according to their characteristics, and must not be disposed of blindly.
In short, when storing and transporting 3-pyridyl acetonitrile, all aspects should not be ignored, and they must be operated in strict accordance with safety regulations to ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.
