Chemical Properties

BEIGE TO LIGHT BROWN CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

2,6-Lutidine-α²,3-diol (3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol) was used in the synthesis of:

• (3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl pivaloate
• triflate
• (3-(allyloxy)-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methanol

Definition

ChEBI: 2-(Hydroxymethyl)-6-methylpyridin-3-ol is a member of methylpyridines.

General Description

2,6-Lutidine-α²,3-diol (3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol) on condensation with chlorides of carbamidophosphoric acids yields N-Substituted N′-[6-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinino(5,4,-b)pyridine-2-yl]urea. It forms organotin (IV) complexes on reaction with dimethyl-, diethyl- and dibutyltin (IV) oxide.
