2-Formylpyridine, also commonly called pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde, is a organic compound with the formula NC5H4CHO. It is a colorless oily liquid with a distinct odor. Older samples are often brown-colored owing to impurities. It serves as a precursor to other compounds of interest in coordination chemistry and pharmaceuticals. Pyridine aldehydes are typically prepared by oxidation of the hydroxymethyl- or methylpyridines.[1]
Reactions and uses
The drug pralidoxime can be produced from 2-formylpyridine.
The aldehyde functional group is subject to nucleophilic attack, specifically by amines to form Schiff bases, which serve as bidentate ligands.[2] Iminopyridine complexes can be remarkably robust.[3]
