2-(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)-5-nitropyridine

Description:

2-(1,1-Dimethylethoxy)-5-nitropyridine, with the CAS number 72617-83-5, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring, which is substituted at the 2-position with a 1,1-dimethylethoxy group and at the 5-position with a nitro group. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its non-polar characteristics due to the presence of the bulky dimethylethoxy group. The nitro group introduces polar characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in chemical processes. It is often used in synthetic organic chemistry as an intermediate or building block for the synthesis of more complex molecules. The presence of both the ether and nitro functionalities suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals, where such structural motifs are common. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as nitro compounds can be sensitive and may pose health risks.
