5-Hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is one of the organic compounds. Its physical properties are quite impressive, as follows:
First of all, its appearance, under normal temperature and pressure, is mostly white to light yellow solid powder. This morphological feature is quite important when it is initially identified and processed, and can provide an intuitive basis for subsequent research and application.
As for the melting point, it is about 142-144 ° C. The melting point is also the critical temperature at which a substance changes from a solid state to a liquid state. Knowing the melting point of this substance is of great significance for the purification, identification and behavior of the substance under specific temperature conditions. When the temperature approaches or reaches this melting point range, 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine gradually melts from a solid state to a liquid state. This process is accompanied by energy absorption and changes in the state of matter.
On its solubility again, 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is slightly soluble in water. Water is the source of all things, and many chemical reactions and life activities take place in water. The slightly soluble nature of this substance determines its behavior and application range in aqueous systems. However, it is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane, N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Organic solvents are an indispensable medium in many fields such as organic synthesis, separation and purification. Soluble in such organic solvents means that in related organic reactions, a suitable solvent system can be selected to promote the reaction and achieve specific chemical transformations.
In addition, its stability is also a key property. Under normal storage conditions, if light, high temperature and contact with active substances such as strong oxidants, strong acids, and strong bases are avoided, 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine can maintain a relatively stable state. However, under specific chemical reaction environments or extreme conditions, its chemical structure may change, resulting in different reaction products and properties.
The above physical properties, interrelated and influenced, play a decisive role in the synthesis, characterization, storage, transportation, and application of 5-hydroxy-2 - (trifluoromethyl) pyridine in the fields of chemistry, medicine, and materials, providing a solid foundation for relevant scientific research and industrial practice.

5-Hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is also an important compound in the field of organic synthesis. Its synthesis method has been explored by many wise men in the past, and several common methods are described in detail below.
One is the hydroxylation method of halogenated pyridine. First, 2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine containing halides is used as the starting material. Common halogens include chlorine and bromine. In this halogen, nucleophiles, such as alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide, are added. Under appropriate reaction conditions, halogen atoms can be replaced by hydroxyl groups to obtain 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine. This reaction requires attention to the reaction temperature, reaction time and the proportion of reactants. If the temperature is too high, side reactions may occur; if the temperature is too low, the reaction rate will be delayed. And the proportion of reactants is improper, which also affects the yield.
The second is the oxidation method of pyridine derivatives. Select a suitable 2 - (trifluoromethyl) pyridine derivative, which has a group that can be oxidized at 5 positions, such as methyl. Use a suitable oxidizing agent, such as potassium permanganate, potassium dichromate and other strong oxidizing agents, or a specific catalytic oxidation system. After oxidation, the group at 5 positions is converted into a hydroxyl group, and then the target product is obtained. However, when using strong oxidants, it is necessary to pay attention to the selectivity of the reaction, because it may also oxidize the pyridine ring, resulting in complex products, so the reaction conditions need to be carefully regulated.
The third is the coupling reaction method of metal catalysis. Using pyridine derivatives containing specific functional groups and reagents containing hydroxyl groups as raw materials, with the help of metal catalysts, such as complexes of metals such as palladium and copper. With the assistance of ligands, the coupling reaction between the two is promoted to form a carbon-oxygen bond, and the synthesis of 5-hydroxy-2 - (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is achieved. This method requires a high purity of the reaction system. Moisture, impurities, etc. may affect the activity of the metal catalyst, and the choice and dosage of the catalyst have a great impact on the efficiency and selectivity of the reaction.
All these methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The hydroxylation of halogenated pyridine is common, but the reaction conditions need to be fine-tuned; the oxidation steps of pyridine derivatives are relatively simple, but the selectivity is difficult to control; although the coupling reaction method of metal catalysis is efficient, it requires strict reaction environment. Synthesizers should weigh the advantages and disadvantages according to the actual situation, such as the availability of raw materials, cost, and requirements for product purity, and choose the appropriate method.

The price range of 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine in the market is difficult to determine. The price of this substance often varies for many reasons.
Looking at the market conditions of the past, the price of these chemicals may fluctuate due to the balance between supply and demand. If there are many people who want it, and there are few people who supply it, the price will increase; on the contrary, if the supply exceeds the demand, the price may drop. And the difficulty of its preparation is also the main reason. If the preparation method is complicated, multiple processes are required, and many materials are required, the cost will increase, and the price will also rise.
The difference in origin also affects its price. In different places, the quality of the product may be different, and the difference in transportation costs and taxes makes the price different.
Furthermore, the competition in the market also affects the price. If many merchants compete to sell this product, in order to compete for customers, they may reduce the price to attract customers; on the contrary, if there are few merchants and the competition is weak, the price may remain high.
From this perspective, the price of 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine, or in the range of several yuan to tens of yuan per gram, is only a rough estimate, and the actual price needs to be carefully studied according to the current market situation.

5-Hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is also an organic compound. The method of storage is crucial, and it is related to the stability and quality of this substance.
When it is stored, the first thing is to choose a cool and dry place. Cover a cool place to reduce its changes due to excessive temperature. If it is exposed to high temperature, or the chemical reaction of this substance occurs, it will damage its purity and characteristics. A dry environment is also indispensable, because moisture can easily damp the compound, or cause adverse reactions such as hydrolysis, causing it to deteriorate.
Furthermore, it must be placed in a sealed container. Sealing can prevent the intrusion of external air, moisture and impurities. In the air, oxygen may react with compounds, while moisture and impurities can affect their chemical properties. In a suitable sealed container, it can ensure the stability of its internal environment and reduce the interference of external factors.
In addition, it is also crucial to stay away from fire sources and oxidants. This compound may have certain flammability, and near fire sources increases the risk of fire. And oxidants are prone to react violently with the like, endangering safety. Therefore, the storage place should be far away from the fire source and oxidant.
In addition, it should be avoided to co-store with incompatible substances. There may be chemical reactions between different compounds, resulting in dangerous situations. Therefore, before storage, it is necessary to know its chemical properties in detail, understand which substances are incompatible with it, and store them separately.
In summary, the storage of 5-hydroxy-2- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine should be cool, dry, sealed, away from ignition-derived oxidants, and free from incompatible substances, so as to ensure its quality and safety.
