Infobox references

Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde, also called 2-formylpyridine, is an organic compound with the formula NC5H4CHO. It is one of three isomeric pyridinaldehydes. The other isomers are pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde and pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde.

Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde is a colorless oily liquid with a distinctive 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]

Pyridine-2-carbaldehyde is used in the synthesis of ARN2966 [102212-26-0],[4] one of the syntheses of Mefloquine,[5] RWJ-22757 (Mcn-5195) [103729-18-6],[6] & in one of the syntheses of Carbinoxamine.[7][8]
