2-Fluoro-3-methylpyridine is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with a fluorine atom at the second position and a methyl group at the third position. Its molecular formula is C6H6FN, indicating the presence of six carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, one fluorine atom, and one nitrogen atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is polar due to the electronegative fluorine atom, which influences its solubility in various solvents. 2-Fluoro-3-methylpyridine is used in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its reactivity is largely dictated by the presence of the nitrogen atom in the ring, which can participate in nucleophilic and electrophilic reactions. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may be harmful if inhaled or ingested, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when working with this compound.
