Description

4-Chloromethylpyridine HCl is a synthetic compound that has been shown to be an efficient catalyst for the reduction of trifluoroacetic acid to acetic acid. It is used in a number of organic syntheses, including the conversion of chloroform to dichloroethane and the synthesis of acetaminophen. The reaction solution contains hydrogen chloride and metal ions such as aluminum or magnesium. 4-Chloromethylpyridine HCl reacts with these metal ions to form complexes, which are then reduced by hydrogen gas. The crystal structures of these complexes have been determined using x-ray crystallography and optical properties were studied using microscopy studies.br>br>

The protonated form of 4-chloromethylpyridine HCl is acidic in nature, with a pK = 3.2 at 25°C. The chloride anion can bind to the metal ion forming a complex, which can then
