Description :

Overview of Beta-Picoline

Beta-Picoline is an important fine chemical raw material used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, and specialty chemical production. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pyridine-type smell.

Its chemical name is 3-Methylpyridine, and it belongs to the family of picoline isomers that also includes Alpha Picoline and Gamma Picoline.

Because it is stable, versatile, and easy to handle, Beta-Picoline is widely used as an intermediate in many industrial processes.

Applications of Beta-Picoline

1. Pharmaceutical Industry

• Used to make vitamins like Vitamin B3 (Niacin).
• Important intermediate for active pharma ingredients.
• Supports large-scale synthesis of drug intermediates.
  
  

2. Agrochemical Industry

• Used to produce herbicides, pesticides, and plant-growth chemicals.
• Acts as a key building block for long-chain agro intermediates.
  
  

3. Chemical Manufacturing

• Common raw material in fine chemical raw material production.
• Helps produce dyes, rubber chemicals, curing agents, and resins.
• Used to create quaternary ammonium salts for various applications.
  
  

4. Solvent Applications

• Acts as a specialty solvent in labs and industrial reactions.
• Suitable for polymer chemistry and catalyst systems.
• Often used alongside other solvent-type chemicals such as Dimethylformamide, Acetonitrile, and Butyl Lactate, depending on process needs.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry, ventilated place.
• Keep away from flames and strong oxidizers.
