Uses
4-Ethylpyridine is used to study the influence of counter-anion concentration on analyte retention.
Uses
4-Ethyl pyridine is used as a monomer in polymer
chemistry.
General Description
4-Ethylpyridine undergoes metal-ligand interaction with Zn-porphyrin which can be studied by mass spectrometry.
Contact allergens
4-Ethyl-pyridine is used as a monomer in polymer
chemistry
Purification Methods
Dry 4-ethylpyridine with BaO, and fractionally distil it. Also purified by converting to the picrate, recrystalising and the free base is regenerated and distilled. [Beilstein 20/6 V 10.]
