Description

2-Chloro-6-(trichloromethyl)pyridine (2CTCP) is an inorganic acid that is used as a synthetic reagent in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, such as antihistamines, vasodilators and antipsychotics. 2CTCP inhibits the process of nitrification by competing with nitrite for the enzyme nitrate reductase. It also inhibits plant metabolism by inhibiting nitrogen fixation and hydrogen production. 2CTCP is not toxic to humans or animals under normal conditions; however, it may be hazardous if inhaled or ingested. 2CTCP can be synthesized by reacting sodium carbonate with chloroacetyl chloride followed by hydrolysis of the resulting intermediate. The analytical method for 2CTCP involves gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD). The compound can also be analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
