6-(Chloromethyl)-3-pyridinamine

Description:

6-(Chloromethyl)-3-pyridinamine, with the CAS number 1140241-24-2, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a chloromethyl group (-CH2Cl) attached to the sixth position of the pyridine ring and an amino group (-NH2) at the third position, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of both the chloromethyl and amino groups makes it a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the presence of the amino group. The compound's reactivity can be influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine atom and the electron-donating properties of the amino group, making it a candidate for further chemical modifications. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as chlorinated compounds can pose health risks.
