3-Cyanopyridine (3CP) is a nitrile-functionalized heterocyclic compound derived from pyridine. It is widely used as a precursor in the synthesis of niacinamide (Vitamin B3), and serves as a versatile intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical manufacturing. Its nitrile group makes it a key scaffold in multi-step organic synthesis pathways, particularly for biologically active compounds.
