1-(Pyridin-3-yl)ethan-1-ol is identified by CAS 4754-27-2 and molecular formula C7H9NO. PubChem assigns the corresponding structure CID 101192 and records alpha-methyl-3-pyridinemethanol as an equivalent title. Its connectivity is SMILES CC(C1=CN=CC=C1)O, with InChIKey QMDUEBURHKSKDG-UHFFFAOYSA-N. The registry number, composition, and structure references therefore converge on one molecular entry.
The side chain is attached to carbon 3 of the pyridine ring and contains a hydroxy-bearing carbon bonded to one methyl group. This arrangement explains why the systematic ethan-1-ol wording and the alpha-methyl pyridinemethanol wording describe the same graph. Formula C7H9NO accounts for five ring carbons, one ring nitrogen, the two-carbon side chain, and one oxygen. Although the alcohol carbon can be stereogenic, the verified PubChem connectivity and Rlavie record do not specify an R or S configuration. A stereochemical prefix should therefore not be inferred from the CAS alone.
For an inquiry about this exact identity, cite CAS 4754-27-2 together with the complete pyridin-3-yl ethan-1-ol name. Include the quantity being considered, reply contact details, and any question about supporting identity documentation. PubChem CID 101192 or InChIKey QMDUEBURHKSKDG-UHFFFAOYSA-N can be compared with a structure file before the form is sent. Rlavie can then associate the message with the non-stereospecific record shown here, rather than a resolved enantiomer or a hydroxyethyl group at another pyridine position.
