3-Picolylamine(CAS: 3731-52-0)

3-Picolylamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H8N2. It is a colorless, viscous liquid with a characteristic odor. This compound is used in various applications due to its basic nature and ability to form complexes with metal ions.

3-Picolylamine is primarily used as a ligand in transition metal complexes, in pharmaceuticals for chelating agents, and in industrial applications such as catalysts and corrosion inhibitors. It is also utilized in research for studying metal-ligand interactions.

3-Picolylamine is generally considered safe for laboratory use but can cause skin and eye irritation. It is important to handle it with gloves and goggles, and it should be used in a well-ventilated area. Exposure to high concentrations may cause respiratory issues. Follow appropriate safety guidelines and use personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling this compound.

3-Picolylamine should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it in a tightly sealed container to prevent evaporation and contamination. Store it at room temperature, ideally between 15-25°C, with a relative humidity below 60%. Avoid exposing it to strong acids or bases as it can react with them. Handle with care to prevent spills and ensure proper disposal according to local regulations.
