4-(3,5-Dimethylphenyl)pyridine

Description:

4-(3,5-Dimethylphenyl)pyridine, identified by its CAS number 1214379-51-7, is an organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with a 3,5-dimethylphenyl group. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of both the pyridine and the aromatic dimethylphenyl moiety contributes to its potential as a ligand in coordination chemistry and its utility in organic synthesis. The compound may display interesting electronic properties due to the electron-donating effects of the methyl groups on the phenyl ring, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species. Additionally, it may possess biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
