2-Methylpyridine

Description:
2-Methylpyridine, also known as 2-picoline, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H7N. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor, resembling that of pyridine. This compound is a member of the pyridine family, which consists of a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. 2-Methylpyridine is soluble in water and exhibits moderate volatility. It has a boiling point that is higher than that of pyridine, reflecting its increased molecular weight due to the methyl group. This substance is primarily used as a solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, it can act as a ligand in coordination chemistry. 2-Methylpyridine is flammable and should be handled with care, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this compound.
