1-(3-Methylpyridin-2-yl)acetone

It is used principally as a heterocyclic building block and intermediate in organic synthesis and medicinal-chemistry research. The reactive methyl ketone and 3-methylpyridine ring make it a versatile scaffold for preparing more complex nitrogen-containing molecules through carbonyl and ring-functionalisation chemistry.

The CAS number is 39050-03-8 and the molecular formula is C9H11NO (Hill notation), with a molecular weight of 149.19 g/mol. The compound is a pyridine-based building block bearing an acetonyl side chain at the ring 2-position.
