Aspect	Details
Name	4-Methylpyridin-2-amine
Common Synonyms	2-Amino-4-methylpyridine; 4-Picoline-2-amine
CAS No.	1707-72-3
Molecular Formula	C₆H₈N₂
Molecular Weight	108.14 g/mol
Physical Properties	Appearance: White to off-white crystalline solid Melting Point: 68-70 °C Solubility: Soluble in polar solvents like ethanol and DMSO; slightly soluble in water Density: Approximately 1.07 g/cm³ (estimated)
Chemical Properties	A substituted pyridine with an amino group (-NH₂) at the 2-position and a methyl group (-CH₃) at the 4-position. The amino group provides basicity and nucleophilic reactivity, while the methyl group enhances electron density on the pyridine ring, affecting its reactivity in substitution reactions.
Applications	Used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the development of antiviral and anticancer agents Employed in agrochemicals for the preparation of herbicides and fungicides Acts as a building block for dyes, fluorescent probes, and ligands in coordination chemistry
Safety Information	Handle with appropriate protective equipment to avoid inhalation and skin contact Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area
