The method of preparing ethyl 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid ester has been explored by the ancients, and the above methods are common.
First, 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid is used as the starting point, and ethanol is co-esterified under acid catalysis. Take an appropriate amount of 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid, place it in a reactor, add excess ethanol, and add sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst. Heat up to a suitable temperature, usually between 60 and 80 degrees Celsius, and continue to stir the reaction. During this process, the acid catalyzes the carboxylic acid to form an ester with an alcohol, and water is formed at the same time. In order to advance the reaction in the direction of esterification, water can be removed by means of a water separator. After the reaction is completed, the catalyst is neutralized in alkali solution, the organic phase is separated from the liquid, and then purified by distillation to obtain ethyl 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylate.
Second, with 2-halopyridine as the base, it is carboxylated first and then esterified. Choose 2-halopyridine (such as 2-bromopyridine) and react with magnesium powder at low temperature to make Grignard reagent. The Grignard reagent is slowly injected into the system in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide, and 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylic acid is carboxylated (5-chlorine needs to be introduced through appropriate halogenation steps). Then, the target product is prepared under the catalysis of ethanol and acid as described above.
Third, the ester group and chlorine atom are constructed by multi-step reaction with pyridine derivatives as raw materials. For example, choose ethyl pyridine-2-carboxylate, first introduce chlorine atoms at a suitable position, and halogenate reagents, such as N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS), can be used to achieve halogenation under the action of light or initiator to obtain ethyl 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylate. This process requires precise control of the reaction conditions to ensure accurate positioning of chlorine atoms.
The above methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In actual preparation, when considering factors such as the availability of raw materials, the ease of control of reaction conditions, and the purity of yield, etc.

Ethyl 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylate is an organic compound with specific physical properties. Its appearance is usually colorless to pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid. Due to the arrangement and interaction of atoms in the molecular structure, the reflection and absorption characteristics of light are stable.
In terms of melting point, it is about a specific temperature range. Due to intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals force and hydrogen bonds, the lattice structure of the molecule begins to disintegrate at this temperature, and it changes from solid to liquid state. The boiling point also has a specific value. When the molecule obtains enough energy to overcome the attraction between molecules, it will change from liquid to gaseous state.
The density is relatively fixed, reflecting the mass of the substance per unit volume, which is determined by the molecular mass and the degree of intermolecular compactness. Its solubility also has characteristics. It has good solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Due to the principle of similar miscibility, the molecule of the compound matches the polarity of the organic solvent molecule; its solubility in water is limited, because the molecular polarity does not exactly match that of water.
In addition, Ethyl 5-chloropyridine-2-carboxylate has a certain volatility. Although the volatility is not strong, under specific temperatures and pressures, some molecules will escape the liquid phase and enter the gas phase. And it has a specific odor, which is derived from the interaction between molecules and olfactory receptors. The physical properties of this compound are determined by its unique molecular structure, which is of great significance for its storage, transportation and application.

The price in Guanfu City changes due to various factors, such as supply and demand, difficulty in production, regional differences, and even the migration of the world. Today, it is difficult to describe the market price of Ethyl 5 - chloropyridine - 2 - carboxylate in a word.
This compound is in the field of chemical and pharmaceutical products, or it is an important material. If it needs to be widely used, and the supply is small, the price will be high. If the production technique is very difficult and the materials used are rare, the cost will increase and the price will be high. And in different places, the price is also different. In prosperous cities, merchants converge, logistics is convenient, or relatively easy; in remote areas, transshipment is difficult, and the price should be increased.
Looking back at the past, the price of chemical products often changed due to luck. If the world is flat and all industries are prosperous, this product is needed to promote production, and the price may rise; if there is a catastrophe, things are difficult, demand is reduced and supply is stagnant, and prices may drop.
However, at this time I do not know the details of its current supply and demand, the new changes in the production process, and the actual situation of trade in various places. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the market price of Ethyl 5 - chloropyridine - 2 - carboxylate. But if you know, ask the merchants in the city, ask the people in the chemical industry, or you can know the approximate price.

Ethyl 5 - chloropyridine - 2 - carboxylate is an organic compound. When storing and transporting it, be sure to pay attention to the following numbers:
First, the storage environment. It should be placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. This is because the compound may be sensitive to heat and humidity, and high temperature and humidity may cause chemical reactions, which will damage its quality. If it is stored in a damp place, it may absorb moisture and deteriorate; if it is heated, it may cause reactions such as decomposition.
Second, keep away from fire sources and oxidants. Organic compounds are flammable, and Ethyl 5 - chloropyridine - 2 - carboxylate may also be the same. If the fire source is close, it is easy to ignite and cause a fire. The oxidant can react violently with many organic substances, so it needs to be kept away to prevent accidents.
Third, the package is sealed. Be sure to ensure that the package is intact and sealed. First, prevent its volatilization and escape, and second, avoid its contact with outside air, moisture, etc. If the package is damaged, not only the material is lost, but also the escape gas may be harmful to the human body and pollute the environment.
Fourth, transportation protection. During transportation, appropriate protective measures need to be taken, such as anti-vibration and collision. Vibration and collision or damage to the package, causing leakage. And the means of transportation should be clean, dry, and free of other substances that may react with it.
Fifth, follow regulations. Storage and transportation must strictly follow relevant laws and regulations to ensure operational compliance, ensure personnel safety and environmental safety. Do not act in violation of regulations, causing harm.
