Infobox references

3,5-Lutidine is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula (CH3)2C5H3N. It is one of several dimethyl-substituted derivatives of pyridine, all of which are referred to as lutidines. It is a colorless liquid with mildly basic properties and a pungent odor. The compound is a precursor to the drug omeprazole.

3,5-Lutidine is produced industrially by condensation of acrolein, ammonia, and formaldehyde:[1]

2 CH2=CHCHO + CH2O + NH3 → (CH3)2C5H3N + 2 H2O

Biodegradation

The biodegradation of pyridines proceeds via multiple pathways.[2] Although pyridine is an excellent source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for certain microorganisms, methylation significantly retards degradation of the pyridine ring.[3][4]

Safety

The LD50 is 200 mg/kg (oral, rats).
