INTRODUCTION

2-Amino-3-methylpyridine is a heterocyclic building block used in organic chemistry to manufacture API’s, intermediates, agro-chemicals, dyes, and fragrances. The chemical reactivity of the molecule is due to presence of two substituents – amino and methyl.

Manufacture
It is manufactured by ring methylation of gamma-picoline using methyl isocyanate, the byproduct being 2-amino-5-methylpyridine The 3-methyl isomer is separated by crystallization.
