Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name2-Methylpyridine
Description2-Methylpyridine, C6H7N, also known as 2-picoline, alpha-picoline or 2-mepy, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methylpyridines. These are organic compounds containing a pyridine ring substituted at one or more positions by a methyl group.  2-Methylpyridine is a faintly yellow-green clear liquid, miscible in water, that has an unpleasant odor like pyridine. 2-Methylpyridine is a strong basic compound with a bitter and sweat taste. 2-Methylpyridine has been detected in corns and tea. This could make 2-methylpyridine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pyridines including 2-Methylpyridine are crudely prepared by reacting acetylene and hydrogen cyanide. It is used as a precursor in the production of  vinylpyridine and the agrichemical nitrapyrin to prevent loss of ammonia from fertilizers ( Ref:DOI ). It is degraded by microorganisms, particularly Arthrobacter¬†sp. strain R1 (ATTC strain number 49987; PMID:¬†10466198). 2-Methylpyridine is also a constituent of cannabis smoke. It is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
