Description:(5-Methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol, with the CAS number 102074-19-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a pyridine ring substituted with a methyl group and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound features a five-membered aromatic ring containing nitrogen, which contributes to its basicity and potential reactivity. The hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may participate in hydrogen bonding, influencing its physical properties and reactivity. The presence of the methyl group at the 5-position of the pyridine ring can affect the electronic distribution and steric hindrance, impacting its interactions with other molecules. This compound may be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential biological activity and utility as a building block in organic synthesis. Its stability, reactivity, and specific applications would depend on the conditions under which it is used, including temperature, pH, and the presence of other reagents.
