mpicoline
Mpicoline is the common name for 3-methylpyridine, one of the three monomethylated derivatives of pyridine. It is the methylpyridine isomer in which the methyl group is attached to the third position of the pyridine ring (the meta position). Like other picolines, mpicoline is part of a family of heterocyclic compounds that are widely used as intermediates in organic synthesis.
In industry and research, mpicoline is typically produced as part of processes that generate methylpyridine isomers
Chemically, mpicoline shares properties with other pyridine derivatives, including a distincitve pyridine-like odor and typical heteroaromatic
Safety and handling considerations are similar to those for related pyridine compounds: avoid inhalation and skin
