Chemical Properties

White solid

Uses

3-Methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (3-MepicH) may be used as a ligand in the synthesis of the following metal complexes:

• [Cu(3-Mepic)₂(4-pic)] where 4-pic=4-picoline and [Cu(3-Mepic)₂]·2H₂O
• [Co(3-Mepic)₃]
• [Ni(3-Mepic)₂(H₂O)₂]
• bis(3-methyl-picolinato-κ² N,O)(1,10-phenanthroline)zinc(II) tetrahydrate

Definition

ChEBI: 3-Methylpicolinic acid is a member of pyridines and an aromatic carboxylic acid.

General Description

3-Methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid, also known as 3-methylpicolinic acid (3-MepicH), is a 3-substituted picolinic acid. The dianion formed by reacting 3-MepicH with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) can undergo C-alkylation with 3-chlorobenzyl chloride.
