General description

Methyl picolinate (MP) exists in two conformers i.e s-trans and s-cis. Molecular structure of these forms has been investigated by gas electron diffraction.

Application

Methyl picolinate may be used in the synthesis of:
  • 3-substituted-imidazo[1,5-α]pyridines
  • N-benzylpicolinamide
  • 3-phenylsubstituted imidazo[1,5-α]pyridines
  • pyrimine
  • 4,6-dipyridylpyrimidine
