2-Chloropyridine is an aryl chloride with the formula C5H4ClN. It is a colorless liquid that is mainly used to generate fungicides and insecticides in industry. It also serves to generate antihistamines and antiarrythymics for pharmaceutical purposes.[2] It is one of three isomers of chloropyridine.

Preparation

[edit]

2-Chloropyridine is produced by direct reaction of pyridine with chlorine. The initially formed 2-chloropyridine reacts further to give 2,6-dichloropyridine.[2]

Alternatively, 2-chloropyridines can be conveniently synthesized in high yields from pyridine-N-oxides.[3]

2-Chloropyridine was originally prepared by the chlorination of 2-hydroxypyridine with phosphoryl chloride.[4]

Main reactions and applications

[edit]

2-Chloropyridine undergoes substitution at the C-Cl bond.[5][6] Some reactions using 2-chloropyridine generate mixtures of products.[2]

Some commercial products include pyrithione, pyripropoxyfen, chlorphenamine, and disopyramide. In these conversions, chloride is displaced.[2] Pyrithione, the conjugate base of 2-mercaptopyridine-N-oxide, is a fungicide found in some shampoos. Oxidation 2-chloropyridine gives 2-chloropyridine-N-oxide.[7] The antihistamine pheniramine may be generated via the reaction of phenylacetonitrile with 2-chloropyridine in the presence of a base.[8]

Environmental properties

[edit]

Although pyridine is an excellent source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for certain microorganisms, introduction of a halogen moiety significantly retards degradation of the pyridine ring. With the exception of 4-chloropyridine, each of the mono- and di-substituted chloropyridines were found to be relatively resistant to microbiological degradation in soil or liquid media.[9] Estimated time for complete degradation was > 30 days. 2-Chloropyridine exhibits extensive volatilization losses from water, less so when present in soil.[10]

Toxicity

[edit]

The LD50 is 64 mg/kg (dermal, rabbit).[2]
