Nicotinonitrile or 3-cyanopyridine is an organic compound with the formula NCC₅H₄N. The molecule consists of a pyridine ring with a nitrile group attached to the 3-position. A colorless solid, it is produced by ammoxidation of 3-methylpyridine:^[2]

H₃CC₅H₄N + NH₃ + 1.5 O₂ → NCC₅H₄N + 3 H₂O

Nicotinonitrile is a precursor to the vitamin niacin.^[3]

Nitrilase-catalyzed hydrolysis of 3-cyanopyridine by means of immobilized Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1^[2] strains leads in quantitative yield to nicotinamide (vitamin B₃).^[4]^[5]^[6] The enzyme allows for a more selective synthesis as further hydrolysis of the amide to nicotinic acid is avoided.^[7]
