Product Information
(6-Aminopyridin-3-yl)methanol is identified by CAS 113293-71-3 and molecular formula C6H8N2O. PubChem assigns the compound CID 2794829, SMILES C1=CC(=NC=C1CO)N, and InChIKey TXPRFSOGPYITOT-UHFFFAOYSA-N. PubChem also lists “2-aminopyridine-5-methanol” as a synonym, directly connecting the former catalog wording to this preferred Title.
The pyridine ring supplies five carbons and one nitrogen. An amino group is adjacent to the ring nitrogen at position 6, while the hydroxymethyl carbon is attached at position 3. That numbering is equivalent to describing the earlier name from the opposite direction around the same ring. The formula accounts for a second nitrogen in the amino group and one oxygen in the methanol fragment. The verified graph is a single neutral component, contains no counterion, and carries no encoded stereochemistry. Its explicit bond pattern therefore resolves the naming orientation without creating a positional isomer.
For an inquiry tied to this entry, cite CAS 113293-71-3 or CID 2794829 together with the preferred full name. Include the quantity under consideration, contact details, and any identity-document questions in the request. A final comparison against formula C6H8N2O and InChIKey TXPRFSOGPYITOT-UHFFFAOYSA-N helps keep the message separate from other aminopyridyl methanols. Rlavie can associate those exact identifiers with this record while retaining the synonym only as a cross-reference.
