Description

Ethyl nicotinate is a nicotinic acid derivative that has a high affinity for magnesium. It is used as an ingredient in skin care products to improve the appearance of aging skin. Ethyl nicotinate binds to the magnesium ion, which acts as an electron donor, and forms an electrochemical complex. This complex can catalyze the oxidation of hydrochloric acid to form picolinic acid and hydrogen chloride gas, which are thought to be responsible for its exfoliating properties. The coordination geometry of ethyl nicotinate depends on the counterion it binds with, with either octahedral or square pyramidal geometries possible. The nitrogen atoms are primarily bound to carbon atoms in ethyl nicotinate, with two lone pairs of electrons pointing away from the molecule in opposite directions.
