Ethyl + pyridine-3-carboxylate is ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylate, and its physical properties are as follows:
Ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylate is colorless to light yellow liquid. Looking at its shape, it is flowing and translucent, without obvious impurities and turbidity. Smell its smell, it has a special smell, not pungent and unpleasant, but also has its own unique smell.
When it comes to the boiling point, it is about 210-213 ° C. This boiling point indicates that it can smoothly transition from liquid to gas at this temperature. Its relative density (water = 1) is about 1.10 - 1.12, which is slightly heavier than water. If it is placed in one place with water, it can be seen that it is submerged underwater.
Ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylate is slightly soluble in water because of its molecular structure and weak interaction with water molecules. However, it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, because these organic solvents and ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylate molecules have similar forces, which is in line with the principle of "similar miscibility". It can be uniformly dispersed in organic solvents to form a uniform solution system.
Furthermore, ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylate has a certain refractive index, which is about 1.520-1.525 under certain conditions. The value of this refractive index reflects the degree of refraction of light when passing through the substance, which is one of its physical characteristics.

The method of preparing ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid ester has many wonderful methods in the past. One is to use pyridine-3-carboxylic acid and ethanol as a base, supplemented by sulfuric acid as a catalyst, to carry out the esterification reaction. In this method, pyridine-3-carboxylic acid and an appropriate amount of ethanol are co-placed in a reactor, sulfuric acid is slowly added, heated to an appropriate temperature, usually about 80-120 degrees Celsius, and stirred continuously. In this process, sulfuric acid catalyzes the esterification of the two, but it is necessary to pay attention to the strong corrosiveness of sulfuric acid and the reversibility of the reaction. Therefore, water is often removed by a water separator to promote the reaction to proceed in the direction of ester formation.
Furthermore, pyridine-3-formyl chloride and ethanol can be used. Pyridine-3-formyl chloride is first prepared, and then it meets ethanol. This reaction is easier than the former, because the reactivity of formyl chloride is quite high. During operation, in a low temperature environment, such as 0-5 degrees Celsius, pyridine-3-formyl chloride is injected dropwise into ethanol, and the temperature is carefully controlled during this period to prevent side reactions from occurring. After the reaction, the excess acid is neutralized in alkali solution, and then the product is purified by extraction and distillation.
Others use 3-cyanopyridine as the starting material. First hydrolyze 3-cyanopyridine into pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, and then perform the above esterification method; or make 3-cyanopyridine and ethanol under the catalysis of specific catalysts, such as metal salts, through aminolysis-esterification series reaction, one-step preparation of ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid ester. Although the later method is slightly simpler, it has strict requirements on catalysts, and careful screening and regulation of reaction conditions are required to obtain ideal yield and purity.

Ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid ester is also an organic compound. When storing and transporting, pay attention to many matters.
The first to bear the brunt, the storage environment is the most critical. It needs to be placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. This compound is quite sensitive to temperature and humidity, and high temperature and humid environment can easily cause its properties to change, and even cause chemical reactions. If the temperature is too high, or cause its volatilization to intensify, not only will the quality be damaged, but the volatile gas may be dangerous; if the humidity is too high, it may be hydrolyzed by moisture and deteriorate.
Furthermore, when transporting, the packaging must be tight and reliable. Suitable packaging materials must be used to ensure that there is no leakage during transportation. Because ethylpyridine-3-carboxylate may be corrosive and irritating, once it leaks, it will not only pollute the environment, but also endanger the safety of transportation personnel.
In addition, storage and transportation places should be kept away from fires and heat sources. This compound is flammable and may be exposed to open flames, hot topics, or the risk of combustion and explosion. At the same time, it also needs to be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis and other substances. Because of its active chemical properties, it will come into contact with the above substances, or cause violent chemical reactions.
Repeat, the storage area should be equipped with suitable containment materials to prevent leakage accidents, and can be dealt with in a timely and effective manner to reduce hazards. Transportation vehicles should also be equipped with corresponding fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment.
In short, when storing and transporting ethylpyridine-3-carboxylate, it is necessary to be careful and strictly follow the relevant norms and requirements to ensure that personnel safety and the environment are not damaged.

Ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid esters Common impurities have unreacted raw materials, such as pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, ethanol, and by-products that may be generated during the reaction, such as other esters of pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, polymerization products, etc.
The method of removing impurities, if the impurity is the unreacted raw material pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, because it is acidic, it can be used for acid-base reaction, washed with dilute alkali solution, pyridine-3-carboxylic acid salt is dissolved in the aqueous phase, separated from the organic phase of ethylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid ester, and then the organic phase is separated. Unreacted ethanol has a low boiling point. Distillation can be used to control the appropriate temperature, so that the ethanol is distilled out first, leaving ethyl pyridine-3-carboxylic acid ester.
For other ester impurities of pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, it is difficult to separate because they are similar in structure to the target product. Chromatography, such as silica gel column chromatography, can be used to separate according to the difference in the partition coefficients of each substance in the stationary phase and the mobile phase. With a suitable organic solvent as the mobile phase, let the mixed liquid pass through the column. Different esters have different moving speeds due to different forces and silica gel, so that the outflow can be separated one after another.
As for the polymerization products, due to their large relative molecular weight, filtration or centrifugation can be If the polymerization product is solid, after dissolving ethylpyridine-3-carboxylate in a suitable solvent, it can be removed by filtration; if it is colloidal or suspended, centrifugation can make it settle and separate the supernatant containing pure ethylpyridine-3-carboxylate in the upper layer.
