4-Picoline is a high-purity monomethylpyridine derivative primarily utilized as a critical chemical intermediate in the synthesis of various high-value nitrogenous compounds.

This flammable liquid features a technical grade purity, making it an essential building block for producing agrochemicals and pharmaceutical active ingredients (APIs).

Known for its strong nucleophilicity, it serves as a versatile organic catalyst and solvent in specialized reactions across the fine chemical manufacturing sector.

4-Picoline

  • Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Used as the primary precursor for Isoniazid, an essential antibiotic utilized globally in the medical treatment of tuberculosis.
  • Agrochemical Production: Serves as a key intermediate for the manufacture of Picloram, a potent herbicide used for broad-leaved weed and brush control.
  • Polymer Manufacturing: Utilized in the production of vinylpyridine, which is a functional monomer used to enhance the bonding properties of synthetic fibers.

4-Picoline is highly flammable and classified as toxic if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. It causes severe skin burns and eye damage. Handling requires the use of Chemical-resistant gloves, Safety goggles, and a Certified vapor respirator within a well-ventilated facility.
