Physical and Chemical Properties
Understanding the physical characteristics of 2-Chloro-3-nitropyridine is essential for safe handling and effective integration into synthesis routes. The compound exhibits a density of approximately 1.5±0.1 g/cm3, indicating a relatively dense crystalline structure. Its boiling point is recorded at 260.3±20.0 °C at 760 mmHg, which informs distillation and purification processes. The melting point range of 100-103 °C (lit.) provides a reliable identifier for purity verification during quality control checks.
Safety parameters are equally important for industrial handling. The flash point is established at 111.2±21.8 °C, necessitating standard precautions for flammable solids during storage and transport. These properties underscore the need for proper ventilation and temperature control within the warehouse environment to maintain stability and safety.
Industrial Applications
Primarily utilized as an organic synthesis intermediate, this chloronitropyridine derivative facilitates nucleophilic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the nitro group and the leaving group capability of the chlorine atom. This reactivity profile makes it indispensable for constructing more complex molecular architectures found in modern therapeutics and crop protection agents.
Chemists value this intermediate for its versatility in forming carbon-nitrogen and carbon-oxygen bonds. It is frequently employed in the preparation of substituted pyridines, which are core structures in many bioactive molecules. Our global manufacturing network ensures that clients receive materials suitable for scaling from pilot studies to full commercial production without compromising on quality.
