:3-Pyridinecarboxylicacid, 5-ethyl-
Description:
3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 5-ethyl- is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at the 3-position and an ethyl group (-C2H5) at the 5-position of the pyridine ring. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid, soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. The compound exhibits acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. Its structure contributes to its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in organic synthesis. Additionally, the presence of the nitrogen atom in the pyridine ring can influence its reactivity and interactions with biological systems. As with many organic acids, it may also exhibit varying degrees of toxicity and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in laboratory settings.

5-Ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid
CAS:<p>5-Ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid is a herbicide that inhibits the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, which controls the synthesis of the aromatic amino acids. It is used for weed control on unifoliate plants such as wheat, rice, and oats. This herbicide has been shown to be effective against resistant weeds that have developed in response to other herbicides. The mechanism of action of 5-ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid is similar to that of thifensulfuron and it also binds to DNA. 5-Ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid can be metabolized by plants into toxic metabolites and has been shown to inhibit photosynthetic electron transport in leaves. The molecular structure of this compound can be classified as a conjugate with two benzene rings linked by an ethylene group.
