2-methyl-3-bromo pyridine

2-Methyl-3-bromopyridine is also an organic compound. It has specific physical properties, as follows:
First, its properties, under room temperature and pressure, 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine is in a liquid state. Looking at its color, it is usually colorless to light yellow, clear and translucent, without significant turbidity. Smell it, there is a specific smell. Although this smell is difficult to express exactly, it has a certain irritation, and its unique smell can be felt between the noses.
When it comes to the melting point, it is about -15 ° C. This value shows that when the temperature is lower than this temperature, 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine will gradually change from liquid to solid state, the movement between molecules slows down, and the arrangement tends to be regular.
In terms of boiling point, it is roughly between 198-200 ° C. When the temperature rises to the boiling point, the liquid absorbs enough energy, the molecular movement intensifies, breaks free from the shackles of the liquid surface, and converts into gaseous escape.
The density of
is about 1.45 g/cm ³, which is slightly higher than that of water. If it is mixed with water, 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine will sink to the bottom due to the difference in density.
Solubility is also an important physical property. 2-Methyl-3-bromopyridine is slightly soluble in water, because water is a strong polar solvent, while the polarity of 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine is relatively weak. According to the principle of "similar miscibility", the miscibility of the two is poor. However, it is soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, chloroform, etc. In organic solvents, the interaction between 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine molecules and solvent molecules allows it to be uniformly dispersed to form a uniform solution system.
2-methyl-3-bromopyridine complex has certain volatility. Although its boiling point is high, at room temperature, some molecules still have enough energy to break free from the liquid surface and escape into the air, causing their concentration to rise gradually in the surrounding space, which is also related to the perception of its pungent odor.
The above physical properties are crucial in the fields of organic synthesis and chemical analysis, and are related to the storage, transportation and use of 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine. It is also necessary for relevant workers to know in detail.

2-Methyl-3-bromopyridine is also an organic compound. Its chemical properties are interesting and useful in the field of organic synthesis.
First of all, its nucleophilic substitution reaction. Due to the good departure of bromine atoms, this compound is susceptible to attack by nucleophiles. If sodium alcohol is used as a nucleophilic reagent, anions of alcohol and oxygen can attack the carbon atoms connected to bromine, and the bromine ions leave to form corresponding ether compounds. The mechanism of this reaction is typical\ (S_ {N} 2\) or\ (S_ {N} 1\), depending on the reaction conditions. In polar aprotic solvents and the substrate has no steric hindrance, the\ (S_ {N} 2\) reaction is dominant, and the reaction is completed in one step, and the nucleophilic reagent attacks from the back of the bromine atom. If the substrate has a large steric hindrance, or in protonic solvents, the\ (S_ {N} 1\) reaction may occur, that is, the bromine ion leaves first to form a carbocation intermediate, and then the nucleophilic reagent attacks the carbocation.
And its electrophilic substitution reaction. Pyridine rings are aromatic, but the presence of nitrogen atoms causes uneven distribution of electron cloud density on the ring, and the density of adjacent and para-potential electron clouds of nitrogen atoms is relatively low, and the interpotential is relatively high. When 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine undergoes electrophilic substitution reaction, the electrophilic reagent mostly attacks the 4-position of the pyridine ring (the relative nitrogen atom is the meta-position). Because of attacking this position, a relatively stable intermediate can be formed. According to resonance analysis, the positive charge of the intermediate can be dispersed on the pyridine ring, reducing the energy of the system. For example, during nitrification, nitric acid interacts with sulfuric acid to produce nitroyl positive ions. This electrophilic reagent attacks the 4-position to generate 2-methyl-3-bromo-4-nitropyridine.
and its reaction with metal-organic reagents. 2-Methyl-3-bromopyridine can react with Grignard reagents or organolithium reagents. Taking Grignard reagents as an example, the carbon-magnesium bonds in magnesium bromide alkyl groups (such as\ (RMgBr\)) have strong polarity, and the carbon terminal is nucleophilic, which can attack the carbon atoms connected to bromine on the pyridine ring, forming new carbon-carbon bonds and constructing more complex organic molecular structures. This reaction is an important means to increase carbon chains and introduce specific functional groups in organic synthesis.
In addition, methyl groups in 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine also have certain reactivity. Under the action of appropriate oxidants, methyl groups can be oxidized to carboxyl groups, and then a series of pyridine compounds containing carboxyl groups can be derived, which have potential applications in drug synthesis, materials science and other fields.

There are several common methods for the synthesis of 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine.
One is to use 2-methyl pyridine as the starting material and prepare it by bromination reaction. This reaction usually requires the use of suitable brominating reagents, such as bromine ($Br_2 $). During the reaction, it can be carried out in a suitable solvent, such as dichloromethane and other inert solvents. At the same time, in order to promote the smooth progress of the reaction, it is often necessary to add catalysts, such as Lewis acid catalysts, such as iron tribromide ($FeBr_3 $). Under these conditions, the bromine atom will selectively replace the hydrogen atom at position 3 of 2-methylpyridine to generate 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine. The reaction mechanism is roughly that Lewis acid first interacts with bromine to polarize bromine and enhance its electrophilicity, and then the electrophilic positive bromide ions attack position 3 of 2-methylpyridine, resulting in an electrophilic substitution reaction.
The second can be synthesized by methylation from 3-bromopyridine. Methylation reagents can be selected from iodomethane ($CH_3I $), etc. This reaction is generally carried out under alkaline conditions, with common bases such as potassium carbonate ($K_2CO_3 $). In the reaction system, the base will capture the protons on the nitrogen atom of 3-bromopyridine to form a pyridine negative ion. The negative ion has nucleophilicity, and then undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction with iodomethane. Methyl is introduced at position 2 of 3-bromopyridine to obtain the target product 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine.
Furthermore, it can also be considered to construct a pyridine ring through a multi-step reaction from some more basic raw materials and introduce corresponding substituents. For example, with a suitable nitrogenous and carbon-containing raw material, a pyridine ring is formed by cyclization reaction, followed by bromination and methylation at a specific location. However, this method is relatively complicated and requires fine control of the reaction conditions at each step to ensure that the reaction proceeds in the desired direction, resulting in the successful synthesis of 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine.

For 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine, many things should be paid attention to during storage and transportation.
Its chemical properties are lively, and when storing, it is necessary to choose a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. This is because it is sensitive to heat and light, and high temperature or light is easy to decompose or deteriorate. Therefore, it should be avoided from direct sunlight, away from heat sources and ignition, to prevent unexpected chemical reactions or the risk of fire.
Furthermore, because of its certain toxicity and irritation, the storage container must be tightly closed to prevent leakage. The container used should have good chemical resistance, such as glass or specific plastic materials, which can effectively resist its corrosion. Labels should clearly label its name, nature, hazards and other key information for identification and protection.
When transporting, caution is also required. According to its hazard characteristics, choose suitable transportation means and packaging. Ensure that the packaging is stable to prevent vibration and collision from causing damage to the container. Transport personnel should be familiar with its dangerous nature and emergency treatment methods, pay close attention on the way, and if there is any leakage, dispose of it immediately and properly.
In addition, if 2-methyl-3-bromopyridine is mixed or mixed with other chemicals, it may cause dangerous reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid coexistence with incompatible substances such as oxidants, acids, and alkalis, and strictly follow relevant transportation regulations and safety standards to ensure the safety of storage and transportation.
