2-Chloro-3-pyridinemethanol

Description:

2-Chloro-3-pyridinemethanol is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. The presence of a chloro group at the second position and a hydroxymethyl group at the third position of the pyridine ring defines its chemical identity. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. 2-Chloro-3-pyridinemethanol may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research and development. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the chloro substituent, which can affect nucleophilic attack and other chemical transformations. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken due to potential toxicity or reactivity.

2-Chloro-3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine

CAS: 42330-59-6

2-Chloro-3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine is an organic compound that is used as a building block for the synthesis of other heterocycles. This compound can be synthesized from 2-chloronicotinic acid, which is obtained by oxidation of nicotine with sodium hypochlorite in the presence of potassium ion. The reaction proceeds via a cleavage of the C-Cl bond and formation of a pyridine ring. The catalytic process can be performed at room temperature and at atmospheric pressure in a variety of solvents, including water.
2-Chloro-3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine has been shown to have high yields for the preparation of compounds such as 2,4-dichloropyridine and 4,5-dichloropyrimidine. It also has been used in the preparation of pharmaceuticals such as atrial natriuretic factor (ANF).
