35dimethylpyridine

35-dimethylpyridine is an organpyridine chemical compound. It is a member of the pyridine alkaloids group, which is a class of heterocyclic aromatic compounds. The pyridine ring system consists of six carbon atoms, with a nitrogen atom incorporated into the ring at position 2.

Structurally, 35-dimethylpyridine has no functional groups other than the nitrogen atom and the methyl groups attached at the 3 and 5 positions. The molecule is also known as 3,5-dimethylpyridine and it has the molecular formula C6H9N. 35-dimethylpyridine is soluble in water and organic solvents such as ethanol and diethyl ether.

This compound is synthesized through the alkylation of pyridine with dimethylhalides or by the purification and separation of a mixture of isomers through fractional distillation. The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a permissible exposure limit for 35-dimethylpyridine in the workplace, citing its potential health hazards. According to OSHA, inhalation of the compound can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat, and prolonged exposure may lead to the development of pneumonitis.

35-dimethylpyridine is also mentioned in various chemical databases and other sources of chemical and pharmaceutical information. However, available information is limited, and studies on this compound's potential applications are scarce. Research into its behavior, stability, and interactions with other substances may provide further insights into its properties and potential uses.
