Applications & Uses

Uses

2-Fluoro-6-methylpyridine may be used in the preparation of:2-fluoro-6-pyridinecarboxylic acid2,2′-[1-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)ethane-1,1-diyl]dipyridine2-fluoropyridine-6-aldoxime2-fluoro-6-(dibromomethyl)pyridine

General Description

2-Fluoro-6-methylpyridine, also known as 2-fluoro-6-picoline, can be prepared via diazotization of 2-amino-6-methylpyridine in hydrogen fluoride containing 40% pyridine solution. The effect of substituents on spectral properties of 2-fluoro-6-methylpyridine has been investigated based on 13C NMR, UV and IR spectral data.
