To prepare 4,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine, the method is as follows:
First, use 2,6-dimethyl-pyridine as the starting material. First, it is heated with a mixed acid prepared with an appropriate amount of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and the temperature is controlled in a specific range, such as between 60 and 80 degrees Celsius. After nitrification, 4,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine can be obtained. In this process, attention should be paid to the proportion of mixed acid and the reaction temperature. Improper proportionality or temperature will reduce the yield or form by-products.
Second, it can be started from 2,6-dimethylaniline. After diazotization, 2,6-dimethylaniline is treated with sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid, and at low temperature, such as 0 to 5 degrees Celsius, a diazonium salt is formed. Then the diazonium salt is reacted with an appropriate amount of nitrite, such as potassium nitrite, in a specific solvent. After hydrolysis, cyclization and other steps, 4,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine can also be prepared. This path step is slightly complicated, but the raw materials may be more readily available, and the conditions are properly controlled, and the yield and purity can be observed.
Third, 2,6-dimethyl-3-aminopyridine is used as the raw material. Make it react with a suitable nitrifying reagent, such as acetyl nitrate, under a suitable catalyst, such as concentrated sulfuric acid, and control the reaction conditions, such as the temperature at 30 to 50 degrees Celsius, to obtain the target product. This method has relatively mild reaction conditions, slightly lower equipment requirements, and fewer side reactions, which is conducive to product separation and purification.

4,6-Dimethyl-3-nitropyridine is an organic compound with unique physicochemical properties. Its shape may be solid, and its melting boiling point characteristics are of great significance in organic synthesis. The melting point of this substance is about [X] ° C, and the boiling point is about [X] ° C. The exact value varies depending on the determination conditions.
4,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine has a certain solubility. It may have a certain solubility in common organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, which can help it participate in various organic reactions. In water, its solubility may be limited, because the molecular structure of this compound contains hydrophobic alkyl groups and nitro groups, and the interaction with water is weak.
The chemical properties of this compound are active, and the nitro group is a strong electron-absorbing group, which reduces the electron cloud density of the pyridine ring, making it more vulnerable to attack by nucleophiles. For example, under appropriate conditions, nucleophiles can either replace nitro groups or undergo addition reactions with pyridine rings, which is of great significance for the construction of more complex organic molecular structures. At the same time, its methyl groups may participate in reactions such as oxidation and substitution under specific reaction conditions, providing more possible paths for organic synthesis.
Because of its certain reactivity and unique structure, 4,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and is widely used in the preparation of medicines, pesticides and other fine chemicals. In the field of organic synthesis, chemists can use its characteristics to skillfully design reaction routes and synthesize target products.

4,6-Dimethyl-3-nitropyridine is an organic compound. Its properties are as follows:
Appearance is mostly light yellow to brown liquid or solid, odor is special, and it is relatively stable at room temperature and pressure. However, in case of open flame, hot topic, etc., there may be a risk of combustion and explosion.
From the perspective of physical properties, its melting point, boiling point, density and other properties are closely related to the molecular structure. Because of the presence of methyl and nitro groups in the molecule, it affects the intermolecular force, causing its melting boiling point to have a specific value. For example, the methyl group in the molecule changes the intermolecular dispersion force, and the polarity of the nitro group increases the intermolecular force, which together affects the melting boiling point. The density depends on the molecular mass and the way of molecular accumulation. In terms of solubility, it is slightly soluble in water, because the pyridine ring has a certain polarity, but the hydrophobic methyl group reduces its water solubility, but it is soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, chloroform, etc., because it can form intermolecular forces with these organic solvents.
When it comes to chemical properties, nitro is its key functional group and has strong electron-withdrawing properties. This makes the electron cloud density of the pyridine ring lower, making the electrophilic substitution reaction on the ring more difficult, and the reactivity is different from that of pyridine. On the contrary, the activity of nucleophilic substitution has increased, because the electron-withdrawing effect of nitro makes certain positions on the pyridine ring more vulnerable to attack by nucleophiles. For example, under certain conditions, nucleophiles can replace nitro ortho or para groups. At the same time, the nitro group can be reduced, and under suitable reducing agents and conditions, it can be converted into amino groups to generate 4,6-dimethyl-3-aminopyridine, which is an important intermediate in organic synthesis and is widely used in medicine, pesticides and other fields. In addition, the pyridine ring nitrogen atom is basic and can react with acids to form salts. The solubility and stability of the salts are different from those of the original compounds, and may have special applications in organic synthesis and drug preparation.

Nowadays, there are 4,6-dimethyl-3-nitropyridine, which is an important chemical compound in the fine chemical industry. Its preparation process often involves multi-step organic synthesis reactions, and the technical requirements are quite high. Many factors such as the cost of raw materials and the difficulty of synthesis all affect its market price.
If the preparation process is simple, the required raw materials are common and cheap, and the market demand is stable and does not fluctuate violently, the price may be relatively close to the people. On the contrary, if the synthesis steps are complicated, special reagents and harsh reaction conditions are required, and the raw materials are rare and costly, or the market demand surges, and the supply is difficult to keep up, the price will remain high.
Looking at the price trend of common chemical products in the current market, such pyridine derivatives containing specific functional groups, if they are ordinary purity, the price per kilogram may be around a few hundred yuan. However, if you pursue high purity and use it in high-precision fields such as pharmaceutical research and development, the price may be several times or even dozens of times higher.
Furthermore, the market conditions are changing rapidly, and different manufacturers and regional differences will also make prices different. Therefore, to know the exact price, you need to consult the chemical raw material supplier in detail, or refer to the real-time quotation of the relevant chemical product trading platform.
