3-Methoxypyridine is an organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with a methoxy group at the third position. Its molecular formula is C7H9NO, and it features a nitrogen atom within the aromatic ring, contributing to its basicity and potential reactivity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the pyridine ring. 3-Methoxypyridine is utilized in various applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis, in the production of pharmaceuticals, and as a ligand in coordination chemistry. Its reactivity can be attributed to the presence of the nitrogen atom, which can participate in nucleophilic reactions. Additionally, the methoxy group can influence the electronic properties of the pyridine ring, affecting its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
