3-nitropyridine-2-carboxylic acid

Description:
3-Nitropyridine-2-carboxylic acid is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is substituted at the 2-position with a carboxylic acid group and at the 3-position with a nitro group. This compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group. It exhibits acidic properties, allowing it to donate protons in solution. The nitro group contributes to its electron-withdrawing characteristics, influencing its reactivity and making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the presence of both the nitro and carboxylic acid groups can enhance its potential for hydrogen bonding, affecting its physical properties such as melting point and boiling point. As with many nitro compounds, it may also exhibit some degree of toxicity and should be handled with care in laboratory settings. Overall, 3-nitropyridine-2-carboxylic acid is a valuable compound in synthetic organic chemistry.
