(3-Chloropyridin-4-yl)methanol

Description:
(3-Chloropyridin-4-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 4-position. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the hydroxymethyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The chlorine atom introduces a level of reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical transformations, such as nucleophilic substitution reactions. The compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry and drug development. Its molecular structure allows for various applications in synthetic organic chemistry, particularly in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with many chlorinated compounds, it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
