Production Process of 3-Cyanopyridine
The extensive 3-Cyanopyridine production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from 3-Methylpyridine: This method of production involves the use of 3-methylpyridine and ammonia as the raw materials for the synthesis of 3-cyanopyridine. The process starts with the vapor phase ammoxidation of 3-methylpyridine and ammonia in the presence of air. In this method, 3-methylpyridine reacts with ammonia in the presence of air and vanadium pentoxide as a catalyst, which leads to the formation of 3-cyanopyridine as the product.
3-Cyanopyridine, primarily composed of six carbon, four hydrogen, and two nitrogen atoms, has a molecular weight of 104.11 g/mol, and the molecular formula of the compound is C6H4N2. This compound, a nitrile and a derivative of pyridine, is substituted by a cyano group at the 3rd position and is functionally related to pyridine. It can exist both as a colorless liquid and as an off-white crystalline solid, depending on the temperature. The melting point of 3-Cyanopyridine is around 51 °C, with a boiling point of approximately 206.9 °C, and its flash point is measured at about 87 °C.
Soluble in several chemical solvents like hot petroleum ether, ether, benzene, and alcohol, 3- Cyanopyridine has an almond-like odor. The density of the compound is 1.08 g/cm3, and It can irritate the skin and cause eye irritation upon exposure. This combustible compound finds specific applications in chemical and commercial sectors. 3-Cyanopyridine is typically produced by the ammoxidation of 3-methylpyridine using ammonia in the presence of air.
