(S)-2-Chloro-4-(1-amino)ethylpyridine hydrochloride

Description:

(S)-2-Chloro-4-(1-amino)ethylpyridine hydrochloride is a chiral organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom. The presence of the chloro group at the 2-position and an aminoethyl side chain at the 4-position contributes to its unique reactivity and potential biological activity. As a hydrochloride salt, it is typically more soluble in water compared to its free base form, enhancing its utility in various applications, including pharmaceuticals. The compound's chirality indicates that it exists in two enantiomeric forms, with the (S)-configuration often being associated with specific biological interactions. This compound may exhibit properties such as being a potential ligand or inhibitor in biochemical pathways, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Its stability, solubility, and reactivity can be influenced by factors such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in both laboratory and therapeutic contexts.
