Product Information
(5-Aminopyridin-2-yl)methanol is identified by CAS 873651-92-4 and molecular formula C6H8N2O. PubChem returns one record for that registry number, CID 20583240, with molecular weight 124.14. The verified atom connections are represented by SMILES C1=CC(=NC=C1N)CO and InChIKey FLSFZTQIYGDVFB-UHFFFAOYSA-N. Together, these references define a single neutral molecular component.
The parent framework is pyridine, an aromatic six-membered ring containing one ring nitrogen. The hydroxymethyl carbon is attached at position 2 beside that nitrogen, while an amino group occupies position 5. This locant pattern distinguishes the record from aminopyridyl methanols bearing either group elsewhere on the ring. Five ring carbons plus the hydroxymethyl carbon account for C6; the second nitrogen belongs to the amino group, and the oxygen belongs to the terminal alcohol. No stereochemical layer appears in the verified structure.
For an identity-focused inquiry to Rlavie, provide the full locanted name, CAS 873651-92-4, and the requested quantity. Attach a MOL or SDF structure file so the submitted graph can be compared with PubChem CID 20583240, the stated SMILES, and the InChIKey. That review should confirm both the 2-hydroxymethyl attachment and the 5-amino position before request-specific information is discussed. A shorter phrase such as “aminopyridyl methanol” omits the decisive ring positions, so retaining the complete identifier set reduces the chance of confusing another positional isomer with this record.
