3-Butylpyridine is an organic compound classified as a pyridine derivative, characterized by a butyl group attached to the third carbon of the pyridine ring. Its molecular formula is C11H15N, and it features a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the butyl group. 3-Butylpyridine is known for its applications in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of various chemicals, including agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals. Its properties include moderate volatility and a relatively low boiling point compared to other pyridine derivatives. Additionally, it may exhibit basicity due to the nitrogen atom in the ring, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may cause irritation to the skin and eyes.
