4-Bromo-3-Methylbenzonitrile stands out across pharma, agrochemicals, and new materials as an essential building block. The structure features a bromo group and a methyl group attached to a benzonitrile core—C8H6BrN as its molecular formula. This backbone lends unique reactivity for synthesis. CAS number 69489-11-0 links buyers searching global supplier catalogs.
Molecular weight: 196.05 g/mol. HS Code: 2926909090 (China export). Appearance: white to off-white crystalline powder. Typical melting point: 75-77°C. Density: 1.45 g/cm3. Solubility: minimal in water, higher in organic solvents like DMF or DMSO, which assists chemists in formulating efficient reactions. China-based suppliers frequently offer both gram-level samples and large volume contract manufacturing. Assays from suppliers, confirmed by ISO and SGS certification, often state content above 98% purity. Every consignment includes MSDS, COA, REACH, SDS, TDS, and relevant shipping documentation to tick regulatory boxes in North America, Europe, and Asia.
China supply chains built around intermediates like 4-Bromo-3-Methylbenzonitrile lead the global market by volume and price efficiency. The factory price depends on raw material costs, custom synthesis demand, and order size. In the last year, I received quotes FOB Shanghai in the $35-45/kg range for drum-packaged material, with CIF rates slightly higher due to increased freight costs. Quality discussions hinge on batch reproducibility, often handled through small free samples and supporting technical documentation.
Most inquiries come via digital B2B platforms, with buyers focused on MOQ (usually 1–25kg), lead time, and compliance record. OEM and bulk users gain best pricing through annual contracts or when combining several intermediates in a single shipment. Factories in China with Halal, Kosher, and GMP certification enable reach into regulated and specialty markets. SDS and hazard labeling show the need for safe handling: this is a raw material, irritant on contact, and classified as hazardous for international transport. Packing follows UN regulations—steel drums or polymer-lined fiberboard preferred for both safety and ease of decanting on the production floor.
Working with 4-Bromo-3-Methylbenzonitrile in the lab or plant demands a clear focus on handling protocols—just as important as the purity spec. PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat) matters. Ventilation reduces inhalation risk. Waste segregation steps help stay within environmental and company policy on hazardous solvents and intermediates. I have seen firms streamline this by embedding SDS resources in batch records, making training easier for new staff in both R&D and production environments.
REACH registration and compliance with EU and US policies shape the material’s future. With growing focus on traceability throughout the chemical-buy pathway, buyers ask for full documentation from origin, certificate of analysis, and even video factory audits. Policy shifts this year in cargo security and customs rules have raised demand for certified and standardized supply chains. For those exploring liter-scale solution packaging, clear communication and technical support from the manufacturer ensure that each batch delivers both safety and cost performance.
Every purchase involves more than just price per kilo. TDS, ISO and SGS records, and responsive inquiry handling can tell you as much about a supplier as a formal audit. I recommend a short list based on quotation transparency, up-to-date certification, and willingness to offer tech support—from new product formulation support to guidance on hazardous material transport. With steady China supply, certified quality, and right price structure, 4-Bromo-3-Methylbenzonitrile continues driving innovation in downstream sectors.
