(4-Chloropyridin-2-yl)methanol is defined here by CAS 63071-10-3, formula C6H6ClNO, and PubChem CID 2763167. SMILES C1=CN=C(C=C1Cl)CO records the verified connectivity, while InChIKey UEAIOHHGRGSGGJ-UHFFFAOYSA-N supplies the matching structure index. The systematic title and these machine-readable values converge on the same disubstituted pyridine.
Numbering the pyridine nitrogen fixes the substituent positions: the hydroxymethyl carbon is attached at position 2 and chlorine appears at position 4. The catalog wording 4-Chloro-2-pyridinemethanol is an alternate expression for this graph. Hydroxymethyl means a -CH2OH side chain; it should not be read as a ring hydroxy group plus an unrelated methyl substituent. Because that side chain adds one carbon beyond the five carbons of pyridine, the total becomes six. The one nitrogen, one oxygen, and one chlorine in C6H6ClNO agree with the cited SMILES. No disconnected component or stereochemical marker appears in that representation.
A precise comparison can follow the branch ending in CO from the ring carbon and separately locate the C-Cl bond. Cite CAS 63071-10-3 or CID 2763167 when asking Rlavie to review a target, and include the requested quantity plus a structure file if naming conventions differ. UEAIOHHGRGSGGJ-UHFFFAOYSA-N gives a spelling-independent lookup. Preserving the 2-ylmethanol and 4-chloro relationship prevents confusion with chloropyridinemethanol positional alternatives.
