2-Hydroxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine
1. Basic Information
Name: 2-Hydroxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine
Alias: 6-(Trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinol, 2-oxo-6-trifluoromethyl-1,2-dihydropyridine
CAS No.: 34486-06-1
Molecular Formula: C6H4F3NO
Molecular Weight: 163.10
Category: Fluorinated pyridine heterocyclic pharmaceutical intermediate
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
- Odor: Faint heterocyclic odor
- Solubility: Soluble in methanol, ethanol, acetone, THF, DMSO; slightly soluble in hot water; insoluble in aliphatic alkanes
- Melting Range: 148–152 °C
- Hygroscopy: Non-hygroscopic under normal ambient humidity
- Aqueous Property: Weakly acidic, pyridone tautomer dominates in aqueous system
Chemical Properties
- Molecular Structure: Pyridine ring bearing hydroxyl at C2 and trifluoromethyl group at C6; exists mainly as 2-pyridone tautomer
- Tautomer characteristic: Interconvert between 2-hydroxypyridine and 2-pyridone; N-H bond enables N-alkylation, N-acylation reactions
- Trifluoromethyl group: Strong electron-withdrawing group, improves metabolic stability of target drugs; inert to common reduction/neutral reaction conditions
- Hydroxyl/pyridone reactivity: Can undergo O-alkylation, halogenation, sulfonylation to construct drug side chains
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 140 °C; prolonged heating above melting point leads to slight oxidative discoloration
- Photostability: Moderately sensitive to UV light; long-term irradiation produces trace fluorinated impurity
- Compatibility: Compatible with polar aprotic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, concentrated strong alkali
3. Main Application Fields
1. Pharmaceutical Synthetic Intermediate (Core Application)
Key building block for kinase inhibitors, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor small molecule APIs; trifluoromethyl pyridine core enhances bioavailability and half-life of drugs
2. Agrochemical Intermediate
Precursor for high-efficiency herbicides, fungicides with fluorinated pyridine skeleton
3. Organic Fluorescent Material Intermediate
Raw material for pyridine-based fluorescent probes and optoelectronic luminescent monomers
4. HPLC Reference Standard
Chromatographic standard for fluoropyridine intermediate purity detection

Mild irritant fluoropyridine crystalline powder. Dust irritates eyes, respiratory tract and skin; long-term skin contact may trigger mild allergic redness for sensitive groups. All operations shall be carried out in ventilated fume hoods with dust respirators and chemical-resistant gloves. Avoid mixing with strong oxidants to prevent oxidative decomposition. Waste liquid recovered by solvent distillation and neutralized before discharge; solid waste belongs to organic hazardous waste and disposed by licensed professional hazardous waste treatment institutions.
