INTRODUCTION
4-Methoxypyridine, a molecule with ether function, is a reactive base. Its nitrogen atom is activated by the methoxy group. It renders the molecule active and thus 4-methoxypyrimidine participates in many chemical processes. Its uses are in intermediates, in synthesis of biologically active moieties, and in proteomic research.
Manufacture
The compound is produced by ether formation reaction between methanol and 4-bromopyridine. Alternative synthesis route is catalytic hydrogenation of 4-methoxypyridine-N-oxide.
