To prepare 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride, there are several common methods.
First, pyridine is used as the starting material to react with paraformaldehyde and hydrogen chloride gas under specific conditions. In this process, the nitrogen atom of pyridine is nucleophilic, and paraformaldehyde can be depolymerized to formaldehyde under the action of hydrogen chloride. After the carbonyl group of formaldehyde is protonated by hydrogen chloride, it is easy to undergo nucleophilic addition with pyridine, and then the target product 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride can be obtained through chlorination. This reaction requires attention to the regulation of the reaction temperature and the proportion of reactants. If the temperature is too high or the proportion is improper, it is easy to cause side reactions and generate unnecessary by-products.
Second, 4-methylpyridine can be started from 4-methylpyridine and chlorinated first. Usually suitable chlorinating agents are selected, such as chlorine, sulfuryl chloride, etc. Taking chlorine as an example, in the presence of light or initiator, the hydrogen atom of the methyl group of the side chain of 4-methylpyridine can be gradually replaced by the chlorine atom to generate 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine. Subsequently, the product is reacted with hydrogen chloride gas or hydrochloric acid to obtain 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride. The key to this route lies in the selective control of the chlorination reaction. Since the methyl chlorination process may generate polychlorinated products, it is necessary to optimize the reaction conditions, such as selecting a suitable reaction solvent, controlling the trickle acceleration of the chlorinating agent and the reaction time, in order to improve the selectivity of
There are also methods for constructing 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine structures through multi-step reactions with corresponding pyridine derivatives as raw materials, and then forming salts to obtain the target product. However, such methods are often complicated and costly, and are rarely used unless there are special needs. In short, the choice of synthesis method requires comprehensive consideration of raw material cost, reaction conditions, product purity and yield, and many other factors to weigh the advantages and disadvantages to determine the best solution.

4 - (Chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride is a chemical substance. When storing and transporting, many matters need to be paid attention to.
First words storage, this substance should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Because it is quite sensitive to humidity and temperature, high temperature or high humidity can easily cause its properties to change or cause chemical reactions. Be sure to keep away from fire and heat sources. Because it is flammable, it is at risk of fire, hot topic or explosion. And it should be separated from oxidizing agents and alkalis to prevent mutual reaction. Where it is stored, suitable materials should be prepared to contain leaks.
As for transportation, make sure that the packaging is complete and the loading is secure before transportation. The packaging should comply with the relevant transportation standards to avoid leakage caused by damage during transportation. During transportation, the speed of the vehicle should not be too fast, nor should it be braked abruptly to prevent packaging damage caused by vibration and impact. Transportation vehicles should be equipped with corresponding varieties and quantities of fire-fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Mixed transportation with oxidizers, alkalis, etc. is strictly prohibited. During transportation, it is necessary to prevent exposure to the sun and rain, and summer transportation should be selected in the morning and evening. When loading and unloading, the operation should be gentle to prevent damage to packaging and containers.
In this way, during the storage and transportation of 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride, pay attention to the above things to ensure its safety and avoid accidents.

4 - (chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride, a commonly used reagent in the field of organic compounds, is widely used in medicine, pesticides, materials and other industries. Its market price fluctuates greatly, often depending on many factors such as quality, purity, supply and demand conditions, and purchase volume.
If it involves industrial-grade products of general purity (about 95%), if the bulk purchase volume is in the kilogram level, the price per kilogram hovers roughly between 100-300 yuan. If the purchase volume is more considerable, reaching tens of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms, the supplier may give a certain discount due to the large quantity, and the price per kilogram may be reduced to 80-200 yuan.
As for high-purity (over 98%) products, which are mostly used for scientific research experiments, the price is relatively high. In grams, the price per gram is about 5-20 yuan. That is, the price per kilogram is 5000-20,000 yuan. This is because high-purity products have strict requirements on production processes and purification technologies, and the cost also increases significantly.
In addition, the market conditions are changing rapidly. In case of fluctuations in raw material prices, sudden increases or decreases in market demand, and the influx of new suppliers or the withdrawal of some suppliers from the market, the price of 4- (chloromethyl) pyridine hydrochloride will change accordingly. If purchasers want to know the exact price, they need to communicate and negotiate with suppliers in real time in order to obtain the latest quotation.
