General Description

2-Fluoro-6-methylpyridine, also known as 2-fluoro-6-picoline, can be prepared via diazotization of 2-amino-6-methylpyridine in hydrogen fluoride containing 40% pyridine solution. The effect of substituents on spectral properties of 2-fluoro-6-methylpyridine has been investigated based on 13C NMR, UV and IR spectral data.
