4-Pyridinecarboxylicacid, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-

Description:
4-Pyridinecarboxylic acid, 2-(hydroxymethyl)-, also known as 2-(hydroxymethyl) pyridine-4-carboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the pyridine ring, specifically at the 4 and 2 positions, respectively. It is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols due to the presence of the hydroxymethyl and carboxylic acid groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and biochemical research. Its properties, including melting point, boiling point, and reactivity, can vary based on environmental conditions and the presence of other substances. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
