2-Methoxypyridine

Description:
2-Methoxypyridine is an organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with a methoxy group at the second position. Its molecular formula is C7H9NO, and it features a nitrogen atom within the aromatic ring, contributing to its basicity and potential for hydrogen bonding. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the methoxy group. 2-Methoxypyridine is used in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Its reactivity is influenced by the presence of the nitrogen atom, allowing it to participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Additionally, it exhibits properties that make it useful in agrochemical formulations and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
