Uses
A useful precursor to agrochemicals and antidotes for organophosphate poisoning. Solvent; intermediate in the dye and resins industries; in the manufacture of insecticides, waterproofing agents, niacin, and niacinamide. 3-Picoline is used as a precursor in pharmaceuticals and agricultural industries. It acts as a precursor to 3-cyanopyridine, niacin, vitamin-B. It is an antidote for organophosphate poisoning.
