2-Pyridinecarboxylicacid, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
2-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 5-(hydroxymethyl)-, methyl ester, also known as methyl 5-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine-2-carboxylate, 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 that has been esterified with methanol, resulting in a methyl ester. The presence of a hydroxymethyl group at the 5-position of the pyridine ring adds to its reactivity and potential applications. Typically, such compounds exhibit moderate polarity due to the carboxylate and hydroxymethyl groups, influencing their solubility in polar solvents. They may also participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitutions. This compound can be utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals, owing to its functional groups that can serve as intermediates in further chemical transformations. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
