2-(2-Chloroethyl)pyridine

Description:
2-(2-Chloroethyl)pyridine, with the CAS number 16927-00-7, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring substituted with a chloroethyl group. This compound typically appears as 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 pyridine ring. The presence of the chloroethyl group introduces reactivity, making it a potential alkylating agent, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. This compound is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety considerations are important when handling 2-(2-Chloroethyl)pyridine, as it may pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation, and potential carcinogenic effects. Proper safety protocols, including the use of personal protective equipment and adequate ventilation, are recommended when working with this substance.
