ChEBI: 2-Propylpyridine is a member of pyridines.

2-Propylpyridine is produced: 1) by Wolff-Kishner reduction of Propionyl pyridine. This process yields exclusively the alpha-isomer (if intermediate alpha was used). 2) from Pyridine and n-Propylbromide. This process yields a mixture of alpha- and gamma-isomers.

Detection at 0.011 mg/m3 in air.
