CAS 129747-52-0: 5-Hydroxymethyl-nicotinic acid methyl ester
Description:5-Hydroxymethyl-nicotinic acid methyl ester, with the CAS number 129747-52-0, is a chemical compound derived from nicotinic acid, which is a form of vitamin B3. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group at the 5-position of the pyridine ring, contributing to its unique properties. It is typically characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a pyridine ring, a carboxylic acid moiety, and a methyl ester functional group. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its biological activity. This compound is of interest in medicinal chemistry, particularly for its potential applications in pharmacology and as a biochemical probe. Its synthesis and characterization involve standard organic chemistry techniques, and it may exhibit various biological activities, including effects on metabolic pathways. As with many nicotinic derivatives, it may interact with nicotinic receptors, making it a subject of research in neuropharmacology. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
