6-Ethoxynicotinaldehyde(CAS: 97455-61-3)

6-Ethoxynicotinaldehyde (CAS: 97455-61-3) is a crystalline solid at room temperature with a molecular weight of approximately 154.2 g/mol. It has a slight odor and is slightly soluble in water but miscible with common organic solvents. It is moderately reactive, particularly with nucleophiles and reducing agents.

6-Ethoxynicotinaldehyde (CAS: 97455-61-3) can be synthesized via a condensation reaction between ethyl isonicotinate and an appropriate catalyst. The reaction is carried out in an organic solvent, and the product is isolated by filtration and recrystallization, yielding a high purity product with a yield of up to 90%.

6-Ethoxynicotinaldehyde (CAS: 97455-61-3) is primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of certain medicinal compounds. It is also used in the polymer industry as a monomer and in the field of sensors for its specific reactivity with certain analytes.

Proper protective equipment, including gloves and safety goggles, should be worn when handling 6-Ethoxynicotinaldehyde (CAS: 97455-61-3). The chemical should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and sources of ignition. In case of spillage, use appropriate absorbents and ensure proper disposal according to local regulations. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling instructions.
