2-(4-Methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-4-pyridinol

Description:

2-(4-Methoxy-2-methylphenyl)-4-pyridinol, identified by its CAS number 1261971-33-8, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine and phenolic structures. This compound features a pyridinol moiety, which includes a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a pyridine ring, contributing to its potential biological activity. The presence of a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a methyl group (-CH3) on the phenyl ring enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its interaction with biological targets. The compound is likely to exhibit properties such as moderate solubility in organic solvents and potential reactivity due to the functional groups present. Its structural features suggest possible applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, where such compounds may serve as intermediates or active ingredients. Additionally, the presence of both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups can affect its electronic properties, influencing its behavior in chemical reactions and interactions with other molecules.
