3-Bromo-2-methylbenzonitrile stands out as a key raw material in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. Its clear structure—C8H6BrN—delivers targeted reactivity: a benzene ring, cyanide group, a bromine atom, and a methyl group. White to off-white crystalline powder or solid, this compound lines up well with the technical demands of demanding synthesis pipelines. With a molecular weight around 196.05 g/mol, density near 1.4 g/cm3, and a melting point close to 70°C, its handling and integration come straightforward with predictable properties.
The global market keeps looking to China for cost-effective supply of 3-bromo-2-methylbenzonitrile. Chinese chemical factories run large-scale production that balances factory price and batch-to-batch consistency. Certification—ISO, SGS, REACH—backs this reliability, and many suppliers now provide halal and kosher certified materials for broader compliance. Attractive CIF and FOB pricing lets buyers manage logistics and costs with ease, keeping procurement headaches down. For buyers, minimum order quota (MOQ) ranges between 1kg and 25kg, with sample orders often available to confirm quality before purchase.
No one should ever overlook chemical safety. The MSDS (material safety data sheet) and SDS (safety data sheet) lay out everything from toxicity to first aid procedures. As a nitrile and aryl bromide, this compound demands good ventilation and use of gloves and goggles during handling. REACH registration in Europe and proper TDS (technical data sheet) support show commitment not just to compliance, but to protecting people who handle or transport it. High hazard ratings mean responsible manufacturers stress safe packaging and clear hazard communication at every point in the supply chain. Look for those who send shipments with both digital and paper hazard documents—cutting corners here creates ripples that reach all the way to the end-user.
Synthetic chemists value 3-bromo-2-methylbenzonitrile’s chemistry. It gives pharmaceutical manufacturers access to key intermediates for antihypertensive and antiviral drug molecules. Agrochemical innovators count on its stable cyano and bromo groups for designing new pesticides with specific selectivity. Dye factories leverage it when building complex colorant structures. A highly pure batch—≥98% by HPLC—avoids downstream purification hassles, and certified OEM supply lets top-tier manufacturers keep their formulations both competitive and reproducible.
Strong supplier relationships run on transparency. Buyers should always ask for full document packs: MSDS, COA (certificate of analysis), TDS, plus ISO and SGS certificates. Clear answers around HS code (usually 292690) and the full set of customs paperwork shave days off import timelines. Leading suppliers offer both instant quotes and reliable follow-up on inquiries, in English and Mandarin, so global buyers don’t feel left behind. With tighter REACH enforcement and new environmental rules, factories that upgrade equipment and document their emissions earn higher marks—and tend to keep customers longer. I’ve seen firsthand how regular policy updates and clear sales news make procurement teams much more confident in continuing overseas partnerships.
