2-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:

2-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate, 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 carboxylic acid moiety that has been esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of a hydroxyethyl group at the 4-position of the pyridine ring contributes to its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its reactivity and biological activity. Typically, compounds of this nature exhibit moderate to high polarity, making them suitable for various applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The compound may also exhibit specific biological activities, which can be attributed to the functional groups present. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
