(2-methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol

Description:
(2-Methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol, with the CAS number 56826-61-0, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure substituted with a methyl group and a hydroxymethyl group. This compound features a pyridine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom, contributing to its basicity and potential for hydrogen bonding. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) enhances its solubility in polar solvents and allows for potential reactivity in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation or esterification. The methyl group at the 2-position of the pyridine ring can influence the compound's electronic properties and steric hindrance, affecting its reactivity and interaction with other molecules. (2-Methylpyridin-3-yl)methanol may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development. Its physical properties, such as boiling point, melting point, and density, would typically be determined through experimental methods, as they can vary based on purity and environmental conditions.
