2-Pyridinemethanol, 5-methyl-

Description:

2-Pyridinemethanol, 5-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with a hydroxymethyl group and a methyl group at the 5-position. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound exhibits basic properties due to the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring, which can accept protons. Its structure allows for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, it may participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions, making it a versatile intermediate in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

(5-Methylpyridin-2-yl)methanol

CAS: 22940-71-2

5-Methylpyridin-2-yl)methanol is a heterocyclic compound that can be synthesized by the reaction of sodium ethoxide with hydrogen. This reaction produces the intermediate product 2-(5-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethanol, which can be reacted with potassium to produce (5-methylpyridin-2-yl)methanol. The synthesis of 5-methylpyridin-2-yl)methanol can also be achieved by reacting sodium hydride with 5-(chloromethyl)-2-(4,4,5,5,-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2yl)pyridine. 5-(chloromethyl)-2-(4,4,5,5,-tetramethyl-[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2yl)pyridine is reacted with methyl iodide
