2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 5,6-dimethoxy-

Description:
2-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 5,6-dimethoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features an aldehyde functional group (-CHO) attached to the pyridine ring, specifically at the 2-position, and two methoxy groups (-OCH3) at the 5 and 6 positions. The presence of these methoxy groups contributes to its chemical reactivity and solubility properties, often enhancing its lipophilicity. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and conditions. It is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the aldehyde group and the electron-donating properties of the methoxy groups, which can affect its behavior in nucleophilic addition reactions. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance.
