ethyl 5-fluoropyridine-3-carboxylate

Description:
Ethyl 5-fluoropyridine-3-carboxylate is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is substituted with a fluorine atom at the 5-position and an ethyl ester functional group at the 3-position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group and the aromatic nature of the pyridine ring. Ethyl 5-fluoropyridine-3-carboxylate is often utilized in pharmaceutical synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various agrochemicals and biologically active compounds. Its fluorine substitution can enhance the lipophilicity and metabolic stability of derivatives, making it a valuable building block in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with many chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
