O-Aminophenylacetonitrile stands out in the realm of specialty chemicals. Its molecular formula, C8H8N2, and HS Code 2926909090, show where it fits in the supply chain—nestled among pharmaceutical intermediates and advanced organic syntheses. The structure, an aromatic ring attached to both an amino and a nitrile group, gives it unique reactivity. With a density near 1.2 g/cm3 and a solid form under standard conditions, handling stays straightforward for most lab and industrial setups.
No one uses O-Aminophenylacetonitrile just for the sake of it. In my work with chemical sourcing, clients pick it for good reasons. It works as a key intermediate for APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients), dyes, and agrochemicals. Its reactivity, especially in nucleophilic addition and substitution reactions, allows for creative chemistry. For pharmaceutical buyers, knowing their raw material’s source, purity, and exact structure matters as much as price or delivery time.
Most global buyers trace their supply back to China. Factories here push out impressive volumes at sustainable factory prices, offering product consistency, quick inquiry response, and volume flexibility. Reliable Chinese manufacturers publish clear MSDS and SDS sheets, providing all hazard and handling details, including safe storage, potential risks, and emergency procedures. Many of these vendors secure REACH, ISO, and even Halal or Kosher certifications to fit diverse client needs. Verification—SGS certification, video tours, and transparent QC—is now the norm, not the exception.
Mainstream chemical buyers want more than just a competitive quote or FOB/CIF terms. O-Aminophenylacetonitrile, like other nitrile-containing compounds, demands respect in handling. It shows mild toxicity and acts as an irritant if inhaled or absorbed. MSDS documents lay this out plainly. I’ve worked with purchasers who refuse to move forward unless suppliers offer not just the paperwork, but real transparency on manufacturing processes. Responsible suppliers deliver up-to-date SDS, TDS, and REACH documents, making sure clients know exactly what risks and disposal requirements they take on.
Bulk chemical purchasing remains a numbers game. Factory prices in China, direct from certified suppliers and manufacturers, keep O-Aminophenylacetonitrile affordable for large buyers. Many offer free samples to new clients looking for confirmation before placing a big order. Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) often starts from a few kilos, but larger buyers negotiate based on liter or drum quantities. Lately, the best deals blend competitive pricing with compliance—buyers want the certs, the test results, and proof that the process aligns with both global policy and specific client requirements.
Policy changes, be it around hazardous materials, export quotas, or updated product specifications, force buyers and suppliers to stay nimble. Trade news out of China or regulatory shifts in the EU can change priorities overnight. I’ve watched buyers pause projects until they could confirm manufacturer compliance with new certifications, like updated GHS labeling or REACH listings.
The smartest buyers don’t just chase the lowest price per kilo. O-Aminophenylacetonitrile buyers study MSDS sheets, audit supply chains, insist on certifications (SDS, TDS, ISO, OEM, SGS, Halal, Kosher), and push for real material traceability. Through careful vendor selection and ongoing information sharing, both safety and business value get locked in for every shipment.
