3-Iodo-2-methoxyisonicotinonitrile(CAT: L034184) is an organic compound that features an iodine atom at the 3-position, a methoxy group (-OCH₃) at the 2-position, and a nitrile group (-CN) attached to a pyridine ring (isonicotinonitrile). The combination of these functional groups provides the molecule with unique reactivity, particularly in cross-coupling reactions, such as Sonogashira or Suzuki coupling, where the iodine atom acts as a good leaving group. The methoxy group can influence the electronic properties of the ring system, while the nitrile group adds a polar functionality, often used in the development of pharmaceuticals or fine chemicals. This compound serves as a versatile building block in organic synthesis, particularly in medicinal chemistry for drug development.
