2-Chloro-5-methylpyridine

Description:
2-Chloro-5-methylpyridine is an organic compound belonging to the class of pyridines, which are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing a nitrogen atom in the ring. This particular compound features a chlorine atom and a methyl group attached to the pyridine ring, specifically at the 2 and 5 positions, respectively. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. The presence of the chlorine atom contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2-Chloro-5-methylpyridine is soluble in organic solvents and has moderate polarity due to the electronegative chlorine and nitrogen atoms. It is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings. Additionally, its chemical properties allow it to participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis.
