:5-Chloro-2-methylpyridine
Description:
5-Chloro-2-methylpyridine is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is a six-membered aromatic heterocycle containing one nitrogen atom. The presence of a chlorine atom at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 2-position of the pyridine ring defines its structure and reactivity. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It is known for its moderate polarity and can engage in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and electrophilic aromatic substitutions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine atom. 5-Chloro-2-methylpyridine is often used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other organic compounds. It is important to handle this substance with care, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken during its use and storage.
