(3-chloropyridin-2-yl)methanol

Description:
(3-Chloropyridin-2-yl)methanol is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which features a chlorine substituent at the 3-position and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the 2-position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The chlorine atom introduces a degree of polarity and can influence the compound's reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. Additionally, (3-chloropyridin-2-yl)methanol may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical applications. Safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.
