3-Amino-2-methylpentane, this substance is an organic compound. Its physical properties are as follows:
Under normal temperature and pressure, it is mostly colorless and transparent liquid, with pure texture and no impurities, and is very clear visually.
Smell it, it has a special smell, although it is not as stinky and pungent, it also has a unique smell, which is unique to this substance.
Observe its melting point, the melting point is low, and it exists in a liquid state under normal ambient temperature. The boiling point varies slightly due to specific conditions, roughly within a certain temperature range. This characteristic is due to factors such as intermolecular forces. < Br >
When it comes to solubility, it exhibits good solubility in organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and other common organic solvents, which can be soluble with it to form a uniform mixed system. However, in water, its solubility is relatively limited, which is related to the polarity of the molecule.
In terms of density, it is lighter than water. If it is mixed with water, it can be seen that it floats on the water surface, and the two are clearly defined.
The physical properties of this substance are determined by its molecular structure. Each property is related to each other. It is of great significance and value in many fields such as organic synthesis and chemical production. It is related to the selection of reaction conditions, separation and purification methods, and other practical applications.

3-Amino-2-methylpyridine has unique chemical properties. It is alkaline, and the nitrogen atom in its amino group has lone pairs of electrons, which can accept protons. In an acidic environment, it is easy to combine with protons to form corresponding salts. And this alkalinity makes it able to react with many acids to form stable ionic compounds.
And because the pyridine ring is a conjugated system, its properties are relatively stable, but the methyl group and amino group on the ring will affect the distribution of its electron cloud. The methyl group has an inductive effect on electrons, which can increase the electron cloud density on the pyridine ring, especially in the adjacent and para-position, resulting in changes in its electrophilic substitution activity. In general, electrophilic substitution reactions are more likely to occur at the β-position (relative to methyl or amino groups) of the pyridine ring, because the reaction at this position can better disperse the positive charges of the intermediate and stabilize the transition state.
The presence of amino groups, in addition to imparting alkalinity, can also participate in various nucleophilic reactions. For example, nucleophilic acylation reactions can occur with acyl halides, acid anhydrides, etc. The amino nitrogen atom attacks the carbon atom of the acyl group, and the halogen ion or acid ion leaves to form the corresponding amide compound. This reaction is often used in organic synthesis to construct compounds containing amide bonds.
Furthermore, 3-amino-2-methylpyridine can undergo oxidation reactions. Amino groups are more easily oxidized. Under the action of appropriate oxidants, amino groups can be converted into nitro, nitroso and other nitrogen-containing functional groups, or pyridine rings can be oxidized and ring-opened. However, the specific reaction products depend on factors such as the type of oxidant and reaction conditions.
It has a wide range of uses in the field of organic synthesis and can be used as intermediates. It can be used to construct complex organic compounds through a series of chemical reactions. It has important applications in many disciplines such as pharmaceutical chemistry and materials science.

To prepare 3-amino-2-methylpyridine, there are many methods. First, it can be prepared by nitration and reduction of 2-methylpyridine. First, nitrate 2-methylpyridine with an appropriate nitrifying agent, and introduce nitro groups at appropriate positions. In this step, attention should be paid to the control of reaction conditions, such as temperature and ratio of reactants, etc., to prevent side reactions from clumping. Then the nitro group is reduced to amino group. The commonly used reducing agents include iron filings-hydrochloric acid, hydrogen-catalyst, etc. When choosing hydrogen-catalyst, the choice of catalyst is very critical, such as palladium carbon, and the reaction needs to be carried out at suitable pressure and temperature. < Br >
Second, it can be obtained by the substitution reaction of pyridine derivatives. Using specific pyridine derivatives as raw materials, methyl and amino groups are introduced at the corresponding positions by means of nucleophilic substitution or electrophilic substitution reactions. For example, selecting suitable halogenated pyridine, introducing methyl groups by nucleophilic reagents, and then introducing amino groups through a series of reactions. This process requires careful consideration of reactivity and selectivity. By selecting suitable reagents and conditions, the yield of the target product can be improved.
Third, heterocyclic synthesis can be used. Using nitrogen-containing and carbon-containing small molecules as starting materials, pyridine rings are constructed through cyclization reactions, and methyl and amino groups are introduced simultaneously. If appropriate nitriles, amines and carbonyl-containing compounds are used as raw materials, under specific catalyst and reaction conditions, a pyridine ring is formed through multi-step reaction. This approach requires a thorough understanding of the reaction mechanism and careful design of the reaction route to ensure the smooth progress of the reaction and improve the purity and yield of the product.

In today's market, the price of 3-amino-2-methylpyridine varies depending on the quality, quantity, and supply and demand. Its price hovers between tens of gold and hundreds of gold per kilogram.
If its quality and quantity are excellent, and when the market needs it, the price may rise, reaching three or four hundred gold per kilogram, or even higher. This is because it is in line with the strict requirements of various industries, such as medicine and chemical industry. It is used to make special medicines and make strange agents, so the price rises for those who need it. < Br >
However, if the quality is not good, and the market supply is full, and the seekers are not prosperous, the price may drop, as low as tens of gold per kilogram. Because it is difficult to make the best use of it in the industry, it is limited, and the price is reduced for those who need it.
The origin and season also depend on its price. If the origin changes, the amount of production varies, and the price must be changed accordingly. Seasons are different, the rise and fall of the industry are different, and the needs are also different, so the price is different.
In general, the price of 3-amino-2-methylpyridine is variable and fluctuates between tens of gold and hundreds of gold per kilogram. Only when the industry assesses the situation and observes changes in the market can the approximate price be known.
