3-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 6-propoxy-

Description:

3-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 6-propoxy- is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. The compound features a carboxaldehyde functional group (-CHO) at the 3-position of the pyridine ring, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of a propoxy group (-O-CH2-CH2-CH3) at the 6-position enhances its solubility in organic solvents and may influence its biological activity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinctive aromatic odor. It is used in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or other fine chemicals. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to minimize environmental impact.
