Common Name2,6-Dimethylpyridine
Description2,6-Dimethylpyridine, (CH3)2C5H3N, also known as alpha, alpha'-lutidine or 2,6-lutidine, 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, 6-Dimethylpyridine is a dimethylated pyridine, also known as lutidines and is one of several dimethyl-substituted derivatives of pyridine. It is a colorless oily liquid with mildly basic properties and a pungent, noxious odor. It is soluble to 27.2% in water at 45.3 ¬∞C. 2,6-Lutidine is a food additive that imparts a nutty aroma when present in solution in very low concentrations.  2,6-Dimethylpyridine has been detected in tea, making it a potential biomarker for the consumption of tea. It is produced industrially by the reaction of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and ammonia. The steric effects of the two methyl groups in 2,6-lutidine make it a weak nucleophile and is thus sometimes used as a sterically hindered mild base in organic synthesis. In soil, 2,6-dimethylpyridine is moderately resistant to degradation, like other methylated pyridines, with >30 days required for complete degradation (doi:10.1002/etc.5620050601). 2,6-Dimethylpyridine is a constituent of marijuana smoke ( Ref:DOI ). 2,6-Dimethylpyridine is formed during the combustion of cannabis.
