3-Pyridinemethanol, 2-chloro-, 3-methanesulfonate

Description:

3-Pyridinemethanol, 2-chloro-, 3-methanesulfonate, with the CAS number 166770-75-8, is a chemical compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the pyridine, along with a chloro substituent at the 2-position and a methanesulfonate group (-SO2CH3) at the 3-position. The presence of the chloro group introduces reactivity, making it a potential electrophile in various chemical reactions. The methanesulfonate moiety enhances its solubility in polar solvents and can serve as a leaving group in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound may be utilized in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, due to its functional groups that can participate in further chemical transformations. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as the presence of chlorine and sulfonate groups may pose specific hazards.
