Pyridin-4-Yl-Acetonitrile stands out across specialty chemicals for its unique balance of structural efficiency and versatile applications. This compound, with a molecular formula of C7H6N2 and specific density of about 1.1 g/cm³, appears as an off-white solid and serves as a key intermediate in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials synthesis. Over the years, the demand for this nitrile derivative has surged, especially among global manufacturers aiming to streamline R&D and reduce production cycles.
China now ranks as the primary supplier of Pyridin-4-Yl-Acetonitrile, linking hundreds of producers and buyers through robust export chains. Direct-from-factory sourcing helps buyers secure lower price points, both CIF and FOB, without compromising material integrity. Most suppliers list detailed product specifications, including HS Code (2926909090), batch-specific molecular property reports, and full analytical data—an essential factor in cutting down inquiry rounds and ensuring speedy procurement.
Quality oversight remains tight. Third-party labs like SGS regularly verify content and trace impurities. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), REACH and ISO certifications, along with on-request TDS, put compliance front and center, even for overseas buyers. Many leading Chinese suppliers now offer OEM, kosher, and halal certified batches—essential for pharmaceutical and food applications.
One thing anyone in process chemistry learns quickly: knowing whether a raw material qualifies as ‘hazardous’ can shape the whole logistics chain. Pyridin-4-Yl-Acetonitrile, while not outrageously dangerous, still shows acute toxicity and requires proper handling under GHS labeling standards. Labs typically dissolve it in small volumes of organic solvents for reaction setups; a 1-liter solution batch often meets most R&D or liter-scale production needs. Routine use means MSDS updates and container labeling need regular review to match international transport rules.
As more buyers in Europe and North America push for higher purity lots, I’ve seen inquiries jump for REACH-registered material and requests for comprehensive SDS documentation before any purchase. This push broadens acceptance in regulated markets and boosts trust.
Navigating bulk buying trends, Chinese suppliers often set a moderate minimum order quantity (MOQ)—usually as low as 1–5 kg for early-stage sampling, scaling up to 100 kg for repeat buyers. Requests for free samples often get quick replies, especially if a buyer submits a full inquiry on intended usage, lot number, shipping requirements, and certification needs.
Price negotiations now hinge on order volume, payment options (T/T, LC), and incoterm preferences. In my experience, early communication about required documentation and purity—plus specifying if OEM or custom packing is needed—streamlines both quote comparisons and shipping decisions. It’s also common to see sales policies adapt to global news: regulatory shifts, new REACH thresholds, or COVID-impacted logistics have pushed more sellers to drop lead times and strengthen on-hand stock for key regions.
Pyridin-4-Yl-Acetonitrile’s role as a raw material keeps growing. Every buyer, whether in custom synthesis, life science, or industrial sectors, needs fast answers on properties, pricing, and compliance. The Chinese supply network—armed with updated certifications and a transparent pricing model—remains indispensable. As regulations evolve, buyer scrutiny on safety and certification will only sharpen, making credible documentation and reliable after-sales support the deciding factors.
