4-Nitrobenzonitrile is an aromatic nitrile compound featuring a nitro group (-NO₂) and cyano group (-CN) on a benzene ring. It serves as a key intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly for dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, where its reactivity enables the formation of heterocycles and functionalized aromatics. This chemical has a CAS number of 619-72-7, with the molecular formula C7H4N2O2 and a molecular weight of 148.12 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its Danger classification, which covers acute toxicity hazards: fatal if swallowed (H300), toxic in contact with skin (H311) and toxic if inhaled (H331). Molekula supplies 4-Nitrobenzonitrile from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
