Cannabis Compound Identification
Common Name3-Methylpyridine
Description3-Methylpyridine, C6H7N, also known as beta-picoline or 3-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. Like pyridine, 3-methylpyridine is a weak base and colorless liquid that is soluble in alcohol and water. It has a green-earthy, hazelnut-nutty odor and is found in beer, coffee, whiskey, orange pericarp oil and tea leaf ( Ref:DOI ). It is a precursor to pyridine derivatives that have applications in the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries. 3-Methylpyridine is the main precursor to niacin, one of the B vitamins. 3-Methylpyridine is produced industrially by the reaction of acrolein with ammonia. Pyridine derivatives (including 3-methylpyridine) are environmental contaminants, generally associated with processing fossil fuels, such as oil, shale gases or coal ( Ref:DOI ).  They are also found in the soluble fractions of crude oil spills and detected at legacy wood treatment sites. The high-water solubility of 3-methyl pyridine increases the potential for the compound to contaminate water sources. 3-methyl pyridine is biodegradable, although it degrades more slowly and volatilizes more readily from water samples than either 2-methyl- or 4-methyl-pyridine ( Ref:DOI ).  3-Methylpyridine is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
