2-Chloro-3-cyanopyridine CAS 6602-54-6 - Top China Suppliers & Factory for High-Quality Chemicals
The product is prepared by chlorination reaction of 3-cyanopyridine nitrogen oxide and a chlorinating agent. Phosphorus pentachloride is used as a chlorinating agent and phosphorus oxychloride is used as a solvent to react 3-cyanopyridine nitrogen oxide and phosphorus pentachloride. After the reaction is completed, phosphorus oxychloride is removed by vacuum distillation. Ice water is slowly added to the distillation residue, cooled and crystallized, filtered, washed with cold water, and dried to obtain the target product.
1. Chlorination Reaction
React 3-cyanopyridine nitrogen oxide and phosphorus pentachloride (chlorinating agent) in phosphorus oxychloride (solvent).
2. Vacuum Distillation
After the reaction is completed, the phosphorus oxychloride solvent is successfully removed by vacuum distillation.
3. Isolation & Drying
Add ice water to the residue, cool, crystallize, filter, wash with cold water, and dry to obtain the target product.
