Pyridine-4-carbaldehyde

Pyridine-4-carbaldehyde is an organic compound with the formula C5H4NCHO. It is one of three isomeric pyridinaldehydes. The other isomers are pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde and pyridine-3-carboxaldehyde. Pyridine-4-carboxaldehyde is a colorless liquid, although aged samples can appear yellow or even brown. It undergoes many reactions expected for aromatic aldehydes such as reductive amination and Schiff base formation.[1] It condenses with pyrrole to give tetrapyridylporphyrin.[2] The pKa has been experimentally determined by NMR spectroscopy to be 4.72.[3]
