2-Fluoro-4-methylpyridine Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Clear colourless to light yellow liquid

Uses

2-Fluoro-4-methylpyridine may be used in the preparation of:

• 2-Fluoro-4-(iodomethyl)pyridine
• 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(2-fluoropyridin-4-yl)-1,3-dihydroimidazol-2-thione
• 2-fluoro-4-pyridinemethanol
• 2-fluoro-4-pyridinemethanol, 4-methylbenzenesulfonate
• 10,10-bis[(2-fluoro-4-pyridinyl)methyl]-9(10H)-anthracenone
• 2-fluoro-3-iodo-5-methylpyridine
• 2-fluoro-4-pyridinecarboxylic acid

General Description

2-Fluoro-4-methylpyridine, also known as 2-fluoro-4-picoline, can be prepared based on Talik′s procedure from 2-amino-5-methylpyridine via diazotization. The effect of substituents on spectral properties of 2-fluoro-6-methylpyridine has been investigated based on 13C NMR, UV and IR spectral data.
