2-Amino-5-cyano-3-nitropyridine

2-Amino-5-cyano-3-nitropyridine is a herbicide that inhibits the growth of plants by inhibiting protein synthesis. It is used in weed control and has been shown to be effective against a wide range of weeds, including species resistant to other herbicides. 2-Amino-5-cyano-3-nitropyridine can be synthesized from 2-amino-3 nitropyridine by decarboxylation, hydrolysis, or nitration. The chemical properties of 2 amino 5 cyano 3 nitropyridine make it an effective herbicide due to its high yield and low toxicity.
