Description:
Ethyl 4-methylpyridine-2-carboxylate, with the CAS number 58997-09-4, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features an ethyl ester functional group and a methyl substituent at the 4-position of the pyridine ring, along with a carboxylate group at the 2-position. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. Ethyl 4-methylpyridine-2-carboxylate is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate polarity due to the presence of the carboxylate group. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals.
