4-Methylnicotinic acid

Description:
4-Methylnicotinic acid, with the CAS number 3222-50-2, is a derivative of nicotinic acid, characterized by the presence of a methyl group at the fourth position of the pyridine ring. This compound is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and organic solvents, reflecting its polar nature due to the carboxylic acid functional group. It exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to donate protons in solution, which contributes to its acidity. 4-Methylnicotinic acid is of interest in various fields, including medicinal chemistry, where it may serve as a building block for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals or as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential biological activities, including effects on the central nervous system. Its structural similarity to nicotinic acid allows it to interact with biological systems, making it a subject of research in neuropharmacology and related disciplines.
