The Uses of 3-(Aminomethyl)pyridine

It finds its application as a rubefacient.

What are the applications of Application

3-(Aminomethyl)pyridine can be used to prepare metal complexes. A number of complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) thiocyanates, chlorides and bromides with 3-pyridine amine were prepared and the stereochemical configurations of these complexes were deduced using spectroscopy and magnetism, and the decomposition of the complexes was studied by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis^[2].

Synthesis

Synthesis of 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine by traceless C3-selective umpolung of 1-amidopyridin-1-ium salts?. A natural product inspired rapid access of 3-(aminomethyl)pyridine by one-pot reaction of 1-amidopyridin-1-ium salt with aminal followed by reductive cleavage of the N–N bond is developed. This C3-selective formal C–H activation of pyridine features a traceless umpolung of the 1-amidopyridin-1-ium salt toward a Mannich type C–C bond formation of the in situ generated 1-amido-2-dialkylamino-1,2-dihydropyridine intermediate^[1].
