2,4-Dimethyl-3-pyridinecarbonyl chloride

Description:

2,4-Dimethyl-3-pyridinecarbonyl chloride, with the CAS number 82776-24-7, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure substituted with two methyl groups and a carbonyl chloride functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the acyl chloride functional group, which makes it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of amides and other derivatives. The compound is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ether but is generally insoluble in water. It should be handled with care, as it can be corrosive and may release toxic gases upon hydrolysis. Safety precautions, including the use of personal protective equipment, are essential when working with this substance.
