2-(5-Nitropyridin-2-yl)acetonitrile (CAS 100687-44-1; C7H5N3O2) is a specialized heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via nitration and condensation. It serves as a critical building block in the pharmaceutical manufacturing of pyridine-based active ingredients.
Store in cool, dry conditions away from oxidizers. Use explosion-proof equipment due to nitro group sensitivity. Personnel must wear PPE including respirators and chemical-resistant gloves to prevent dermal absorption and inhalation risks.
