6-Methyl-2-pyridinemethanol（Cat No.:M046355）is a methyl-substituted pyridine derivative featuring a hydroxymethyl group at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 6-position of the aromatic ring. This compound combines aromaticity with a primary alcohol functional group, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It is often used in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and ligands for metal coordination. The electron-donating hydroxymethyl group can participate in hydrogen bonding and further derivatization, while the methyl group influences steric and electronic properties, aiding in the fine-tuning of reactivity and selectivity in chemical transformations.
