4-Methyl-2-nitropyridine

Description:
4-Methyl-2-nitropyridine is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H6N2O2. It features a pyridine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom, substituted with a methyl group at the 4-position and a nitro group at the 2-position. This compound typically appears as a yellow to brown solid and is known for its distinct aromatic odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. 4-Methyl-2-nitropyridine is primarily used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both the methyl and nitro groups contributes to its reactivity, making it a valuable building block in chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions. As with many nitro compounds, it may pose certain health and environmental risks, necessitating careful handling and storage.
