:4-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 2-ethyl-, methyl ester
Description:
4-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 2-ethyl-, methyl ester, also known as ethyl 4-pyridinecarboxylate, 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 functional group that is esterified with a methyl group, contributing to its reactivity and solubility properties. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. The presence of the pyridine ring imparts basicity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. This compound is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl and methyl groups. It is often used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
