Common Name2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine
Description2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine, also known as 2,4,6-collidine, is a heterocycle (or more precisely, a heteroaromatic) that consists of a pyridine ring substituted with three methyl groups and belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methylpyridines. It is one of six constitutional isomers of collidine. Collidine is the trivial name used to describe trimethyl derivatives of pyridine. Methylpyridines are organic compounds containing a pyridine ring substituted at one or more positions by a methyl group. Pyridine is a six-member aromatic heterocycle which consists of one nitrogen atom and five carbon atoms. 2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine is a weak base and a colorless clear liquid with a pyridine-like smell. It is soluble in alcohol and is found in tea. The chemical properties of methylpyridines resemble those of pyridine, although the presence of the methyl groups may prohibit some of the more straightforward reactions. 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine is the most well-known isomer of this group. 2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine was isolated from bone oil in 1854 (doi:10.1002/cber.189202502219). A synthesis analogous to the Hantzsch's dihydropyridine synthesis can be carried out using ethyl acetoacetate (as beta-ketocarbonyl compound), acetaldehyde and ammonia at a ratio 2: 1: 1. 2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine is formed during the combustion of cannabis ( Ref:DOI ).
