About 6-Bromo-?-oxo-2-Pyridinepropanenitrile

6-Bromo-?-oxo-2-Pyridinepropanenitrile (CAS Number: 887595-07-5) is a ketone-containing compound with a carbonyl center flanked by carbon substituents featuring a Pyridine ring. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Ketones serve as strategic intermediates in retrosynthetic planning — their carbonyl can be disconnected in multiple directions, providing flexible synthetic access to complex targets. Aryl and alkyl bromides occupy a "Goldilocks zone" in cross-coupling — more reactive than chlorides yet more stable than iodides — making them the most commonly used coupling partners in process chemistry. Heterocyclic rings appear in approximately 85% of all biologically active compounds. The nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur heteroatom modulates electron density, hydrogen bonding, and aqueous solubility.

Primary applications include asymmetric reduction to chiral alcohols using cbs or noyori catalysts and grignard reagent preparation via magnesium insertion into c–br bond. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 6-Bromo-?-oxo-2-Pyridinepropanenitrile for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Storage & Handling for Ketones

Handling Guidelines

Handle with standard laboratory precautions. Some ketones are flammable. Use adequate ventilation and wear safety glasses and gloves. Some brominated compounds may be lachrymatory or skin irritants. Handle in a fume hood with appropriate PPE. Handle with standard laboratory precautions. Some heterocycles may be hygroscopic or irritating. Use adequate ventilation. Some nitriles may release HCN upon decomposition. Handle in a well-ventilated fume hood with a cyanide antidote kit accessible.

Storage Conditions

Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Protect from direct sunlight and heat sources. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed, light-resistant container. Some bromo compounds require refrigeration. Store at recommended temperature in a tightly sealed container. Some heterocyclic compounds are light-sensitive. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep tightly sealed and away from acids and strong bases.
