1-Methyl-3-propyl-5- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine, which is relatively stable in physical properties.
Guanfu 1-methyl-3-propyl-5- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine, in its molecular structure, methyl, propyl and trifluoromethyl-containing pyridine ring are connected to each other. Methyl, a simple alkyl group composed of one carbon atom and three hydrogen atoms, is relatively active and can participate in many reactions. However, in this compound, the activity is slightly convergent due to the action of surrounding groups. Propyl is an alkyl chain with three carbon atoms, and its extended structure endows the molecule with a certain steric resistance and lipophilicity. Trifluoromethyl contains three fluorine atoms, and the fluorine atoms are extremely electronegative, resulting in a strong electron-absorbing effect of trifluoromethyl.
These three groups co-exist on the pyridine ring and affect each other. The pyridine ring is aromatic, the electron cloud distribution is relatively uniform, and the chemical stability is good. Although the electron-absorbing effect of methyl and propyl and the electron-absorbing effect of trifluoromethyl perturbs the electron cloud distribution of the pyridine ring, the aromatic conjugate system is not broken as a whole. Therefore, 1-methyl-3-propyl-5- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine can maintain the relative stability of structure and properties under normal conditions.
Ordinary environmental factors such as heat, light, and humidity have little effect on it. In the case of common weak acids and bases, it is difficult to initiate significant reactions without specific catalytic conditions. Only in specific strong oxidation, strong reduction, or special catalytic environments can it be promoted to undergo chemical changes and exhibit active reactivity.

The preparation method of 1-methyl-3-nitro-5- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is as follows:
First take an appropriate amount of pyridine and place it in a clean reactor. The air must be fully replaced with nitrogen in the kettle in advance to create an oxygen-free environment to prevent side reactions from occurring. Then, slowly add a specific proportion of methylating reagents to the kettle, such as iodomethane or dimethyl sulfate. When adding, the reaction temperature should be strictly controlled, generally maintained in the low temperature range, about 0 ° C to 10 ° C, and stir while adding, so that the reactants can be fully contacted and mixed. In this process, the methylation reagent undergoes a nucleophilic substitution reaction with pyridine, and the hydrogen atom at a specific position on the pyridine ring is replaced by a methyl group to form a 1-methyl pyridine intermediate.
After the methylation reaction is basically completed, the reaction system is warmed up and the temperature is raised to 30 ° C to 40 ° C. Then, a carefully prepared nitrifying reagent is slowly added. This nitrifying reagent is usually made by mixing concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid in a certain proportion. When mixing, it is necessary to pay attention to slowly inject concentrated sulfuric acid into concentrated nitric acid, and constantly stir to dissipate heat to prevent overheating from causing danger. After the nitrifying reagent is added, maintain the temperature and continue the reaction for a period of time to ensure that the nitrification reaction At this time, the 1-methyl pyridine intermediate is introduced into the nitro group at the 3rd position of the pyridine ring under the action of the nitrifying agent to form the 1-methyl-3-nitropyridine intermediate.
Then, the reaction system is transferred to another reaction vessel with special equipment, and a trifluoromethylating agent, such as sodium trifluoromethanesulfonate, is added to it. During the reaction, the system needs to be heated, the temperature is controlled between 80 ° C and 100 ° C, and an appropriate amount of catalyst is added to promote the efficient progress of the reaction. Under these conditions, 1-methyl-3-nitropyridine intermediates react with trifluoromethylation reagents, and trifluoromethyl is successfully introduced into the fifth position of the pyridine ring, and finally 1-methyl-3-nitro-5- (trifluoromethyl) pyridine is obtained. After the
reaction is completed, the product is separated and purified. First, the reaction solution is extracted several times with a suitable organic solvent, such as dichloromethane, and the product is transferred from the reaction system to the organic phase. After that, the organic solvent is evaporated according to the difference between the boiling point of the product and the organic solvent, and the crude product is preliminarily obtained. Finally, the crude product was further purified by column chromatography, a suitable silica gel was selected as the stationary phase, and a specific proportion of eluent was eluted to obtain high-purity 1-methyl-3-nitro-5 - (trifluoromethyl) pyridine.

When storing and transporting 1-methyl-3-propyl-5- (triethylmethyl) silicon, the following aspects should be taken into account.
The storage environment should bear the brunt of it. Find a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. This is because the substance may be more sensitive to heat and moisture. If stored in a high temperature environment, its chemical properties may be changed, causing conditions such as decomposition; while a humid environment may cause it to react with moisture and affect quality. Be sure to keep away from fire and heat sources to prevent combustion or explosion. Because it may be flammable or can release flammable gases under certain conditions, it is highly dangerous if it is close to the source of fire. And it should be stored separately from oxidizers, acids, etc., to avoid mixed storage. This is because these substances may chemically react with 1-methyl-3-propyl-5- (triethyl methyl) silicon, bringing unpredictable consequences.
The transportation process should not be underestimated. Make sure that the packaging is complete and tightly sealed. If the packaging is damaged, the substance may leak out, which may not only pollute the environment, but also pose a threat to the safety of transporters. Be careful during transportation and do not handle it brutally. Because it may cause instability and increase the risk factor when it is hit or shaken violently. Transportation vehicles should take fire and explosion-proof measures. After all, it is difficult to completely eliminate the possibility of fire sources during transportation. Perfect protective measures can reduce risks at critical moments. Transportation personnel should be familiar with the characteristics of the substance and emergency treatment methods. In case of leakage, fire and other emergencies, they can respond quickly and correctly to minimize losses.
