Description:3-Hydroxy-2-nitropyridine, with the CAS number 15128-82-2, is an organic compound that features a pyridine ring substituted with both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a nitro group (-NO2). This compound is characterized by its aromatic nature, which contributes to its stability and reactivity. The presence of the hydroxyl group makes it a phenolic compound, potentially enhancing its solubility in polar solvents and influencing its hydrogen bonding capabilities. The nitro group, being an electron-withdrawing substituent, can affect the electronic properties of the pyridine ring, making it more electrophilic. This compound may exhibit biological activity, and its derivatives are often studied for their potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 3-hydroxy-2-nitropyridine can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions, due to the functional groups present. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as nitro compounds can be sensitive and may pose health risks.
