5-Bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine

5-Bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine is one of the organic compounds. It is active and has unique chemical properties. It has a wide range of uses in the field of organic synthesis.
In this compound, the bromine atom is active and prone to nucleophilic substitution reactions. Nucleophilic reagents such as alkoxides and amines can interact with bromine atoms, causing bromine to be replaced and new compounds to be derived. The mechanism of this reaction is that the nucleophilic reagent attacks the carbon atom connected to the bromine atom with its electron-rich part, causing the bromide ion to leave.
Cyanyl is also a key functional group. Cyanyl can be hydrolyzed, and under the catalysis of acids or bases, carboxyl groups can be transferred to obtain compounds containing carboxyl groups. This reaction is an important way to prepare carboxylic acids in organic synthesis. And the cyanyl group can be converted into an amino group or a hydroxymethyl group through reduction reaction, enriching the structure and properties of the compound.
Furthermore, although the methyl group is relatively stable, the hydrogen atom substitution reaction on the methyl group can occur under certain conditions. This is due to the pyridine ring connected to the methyl group, which affects the distribution of its electron cloud and slightly changes the activity of the hydrogen atom of the methyl group. 5-Bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine, with its bromine, cyano and methyl properties, can be used as a key intermediate in the field of organic synthesis chemistry, participating in the construction of many complex organic compounds, and promoting the development of organic synthesis chemistry. It has potential application value in many fields such as medicine, pesticides and materials science.

There are several common methods for the synthesis of 5-bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine.
First, 4-methylpyridine is used as the starting material. The bromine atom can be introduced at a suitable position before the pyridine ring. Under specific reaction conditions, 4-methylpyridine can be reacted with brominating reagents such as liquid bromine or N-bromosuccinimide (NBS). After the bromine atom is successfully introduced, the cyano group can be introduced at the 2-position. The method of introducing cyanyl groups, or the method of using halogenated pyridine and cyanide reagents, such as cuprous cyanide, under appropriate solvents and reaction conditions, nucleophilic substitution reaction can be carried out, so that the target product 5-bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine can be obtained.
Second, pyridine derivatives containing cyanyl groups and methyl groups can also be started. Protect some of these groups first to prevent unnecessary side reactions in subsequent reactions. Then, choose the appropriate bromination conditions to bromide the pyridine ring. The selected bromination reagents and reaction conditions need to be carefully considered to ensure that the bromine atom is accurately introduced into the 5-position. After the reaction is completed, the protecting group is removed, and 5-bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine is finally obtained through separation and purification.
Furthermore, the strategy of gradually constructing pyridine rings can also be adopted. Using small molecular compounds containing bromine, cyano and methyl as raw materials, the pyridine ring structure can be constructed through multi-step organic reactions, such as condensation and cyclization. Although this method is a little complicated, the position and type of substituents on the pyridine ring can be precisely controlled. During the reaction process, the optimization of the reaction conditions at each step is extremely critical. Factors such as temperature, solvent, catalyst, etc. need to be finely regulated to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction, and the yield and purity of the product can reach the ideal level. After multi-step reaction, the product can be purified to obtain 5-bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine.

5-Bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine, an important organic synthesis intermediate in the field of fine chemicals, is widely used in many industries such as medicine, pesticides and materials. Its market price varies dynamically due to factors such as quality, purity, production capacity and market supply and demand.
Looking at the past market conditions, if the purity of about 98% of industrial-grade products, under the conventional supply and demand situation, the price per kilogram hovers roughly between 500 and 1000 yuan. However, if the market demand suddenly increases, and the production capacity is temporarily difficult, if a new type of special drug is successfully developed, the demand for it will increase sharply, and its price may rise rapidly, reaching 1,500 yuan per kilogram or even higher. On the contrary, if there is excess capacity and demand is weak, the price may drop to about 400 yuan per kilogram.
Furthermore, high-purity products, such as those with a purity of more than 99.5%, are mostly used in high-end pharmaceutical research and development and fine chemical preparation. Due to the complex production process and high cost, the price per kilogram often exceeds 2,000 yuan. And the products provided by different suppliers have different prices depending on the production process and raw material quality. Due to strict quality control and good product stability, the price of large regular manufacturers may be slightly higher than that of some small factories.
As for the future price trend, it is difficult to accurately predict. If new production technologies emerge, resulting in a significant reduction in production costs, or new replacement products come out, their prices may trend downward. On the contrary, if raw material prices rise, environmental protection policies tighten and production capacity is limited, coupled with continued strong market demand, prices will rise. Therefore, in order to know the exact market price, practitioners need to pay attention to market dynamics in real time and maintain close communication with suppliers in order to grasp the market.

First words storage, this chemical should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Because it is quite sensitive to moisture, if the environment is humid, it is easy to cause adverse reactions such as hydrolysis, which will damage its quality, so it is necessary to keep the storage environment dry. Temperature must also be strictly controlled. Excessive temperature may cause its decomposition or accelerate chemical reactions. Generally speaking, it should be stored in a low temperature environment of 2-8 ° C. Furthermore, it should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis and other substances. Due to its active chemical properties, it is prone to violent reactions in contact with the above substances, causing safety accidents. The storage area should also be equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment to prevent accidents.
As for transportation, extreme caution is also required. Before transportation, it is necessary to ensure that the packaging is complete and well sealed to prevent leakage. Appropriate packaging materials should be used, such as glass bottles with cushioning materials, and then placed in sturdy wooden boxes or cartons to ensure that the transportation process is not affected by vibration and collision. Transportation vehicles should be equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. During transportation, avoid exposure to the sun, rain, and stay away from fire and heat sources. At the same time, transportation personnel must undergo special training, strictly abide by the operating procedures, and be familiar with the dangers and emergency treatment methods that may occur during transportation.
In short, the storage and transportation of 5-bromo-2-cyano-4-methylpyridine must follow strict regulations, and careful operation is required to ensure that personnel safety and chemical quality are not damaged.
