Uses
In organic synthesis, 2,6-LUTIDINE (108-48-5) is widely used as a sterically hindered mild base. It is also used as a vulcanization accelerator for pesticides, dyes, dyes, resins and rubber. And also can be used as a solvent.
Production
Recycling β-methylpyridine fractions from coal by-products of coking, then separating β-methylpyridine fractions, we can obtain 2,6-LUTIDINE (108-48-5).

Specification
Storage: Keep container tightly closed. Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat. Keep
away from sources of ignition. A refrigerated room would be preferable for materials with a flash point lower than
37.8°C (100°F). Flammable materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room. Ground all
equipment containing material.
