3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester

Description:
3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 5-methyl-, ethyl ester, commonly referred to as ethyl 5-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylate, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure with a carboxylic acid functional group and an ethyl ester moiety. 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 its hydrophobic ethyl group. The presence of the pyridine ring imparts basic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitutions. This compound is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its reactivity and functional groups make it a valuable building block in synthetic organic chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
