Description:3-Pyridineethanol, also known as 3-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a pyridine ring substituted with a hydroxymethyl group. Its molecular structure consists of a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom, which contributes to its basicity and potential for hydrogen bonding. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, making it versatile for various applications. 3-Pyridineethanol is often used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in organic chemistry. Its properties include moderate volatility and a relatively low boiling point, which can influence its handling and storage. Additionally, due to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group, it can participate in various chemical reactions, such as oxidation and esterification. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes.
