Air & Water Reactions

Slightly soluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2,3,6-TRIMETHYLPYRIDINE neutralizes acids in weakly exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. May generate hydrogen, a flammable gas, in combination with strong reducing agents such as hydrides.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 2,3,6-TRIMETHYLPYRIDINE are not available, however, 2,3,6-TRIMETHYLPYRIDINE is probably combustible.
