2-Methylpyridine (CAS NO : 109-06-8)

2-Methylpyridine (CAS No: 109-06-8), also known as 2-picoline, is a vital heterocyclic intermediate primarily utilised in the production of 2-vinylpyridine for the rubber industry and the nitrogen fertiliser synergist nitrapyrin. The compound's reactive methyl group facilitates the synthesis of critical agrochemicals like the herbicide 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropyridine, as well as pharmaceutical agents including amprolium, picoplatin, and the organophosphorus antidote pralidoxime chloride. While traditionally derived from coal tar or synthesised via gas-phase reactions of acetaldehyde and ammonia, modern industrial advancements focus on cobalt-catalysed trimerisation of acetonitrile and acetylene to achieve high regioselectivity and yields exceeding 90%.
