2-Picolylamine Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

It is usually used as the intermediate or raw material in the organic synthesis and pharmaceutical synthesis. For example, this chemical can promote the Al(OTf)3-catalyzed aminolysis of 1,2-epoxides to produce β-Amino alcohols N-2'-pyridylmethyl in excellent yields.¹ Moreover, this substance may function as the raw material to produce copper(Ⅱ) complexes with sulfonamides that act as the active chemical nucleases.² In addition, by using this chemical as substrate, an efficient [2+3] cycloaddition approach has been developed for the synthesis of pyridyl-appended fullerene ligands.³ Besides, 2-picolylamine is chosen as the recognition group to get better selectivity for a rhodamine-based “turn-on” fluorescent probe for Fe3+ in aqueous solution.⁴

Chemical Properties

clear colorless to yellow or orange liquid

Uses

2-Picolylamine is a bihaptic amine that can be used:

• As a key precursor to synthesize various ionic liquids through the formation of β-amino alcohols as intermediates.
• As a chelating ligand for the synthesis of complexes such as zinc picolylamine complex and Cu(II) picolylamine complex.
• To functionalize poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride) (PSMA) resin to facilitate the adsorption of uranium from aqueous solution.

Uses

2-Picolylamine may be used as a derivatization agent to enhance the sensitivity of carboxylic acids and short-chain fatty acids for their determination in biological samples by liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), respectively.

Definition
