CAS: 63668-37-1

6-Methylpyridine-2-carboxamide is a nitrogenous compound that contains a metal ion. It has an amide group and a carboxylate group, which are both protonated at physiological pH. The compound is soluble in water and alcohols. 6-Methylpyridine-2-carboxamide can be used as an amplifier in the measurement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) spectra and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. It has been shown to have transistor properties, which may be due to its ability to transfer an electron from one side of the molecule to the other. 6-Methylpyridine-2-carboxamide also has a high melting point, which makes it suitable for use in high temperature environments such as in the production of semiconductors.
