CAS 101990-73-2

Pyridine, 2-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-

Description:

Pyridine, 2-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 101990-73-2, is a chlorinated derivative of pyridine, a heterocyclic aromatic compound. This substance features a pyridine ring substituted with two chlorine atoms: one at the 2-position and another at the 4-position, along with a chloromethyl group at the 4-position. The presence of these chlorine substituents significantly influences its chemical reactivity and properties. Typically, compounds like this exhibit moderate to high polarity due to the electronegative chlorine atoms, which can also enhance their reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Pyridine derivatives are often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. Additionally, the chloromethyl group can serve as a reactive site for further chemical modifications. Safety considerations are important when handling this compound, as chlorinated pyridines can be toxic and may pose environmental hazards. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate any risks associated with its use.

2-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)pyridine is an inhibitor of lipoxygenase, which is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of polyunsaturated fatty acids to hydroperoxides. 2-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)pyridine inhibits the activation of these fatty acids by blocking the reaction with hydrogen chloride and nitrite, thereby reducing inflammation and pain. 2-Chloro-4-(chloromethyl)pyridine also has a neutralizing effect on inorganic bases such as ammonia.
