2-Vinylpyridine (2-VP) is an organic compound presenting as a colorless liquid with a subtle sweet scent. 2-Vinylpyridine holds a prominent position, owing to its broad range of applications. It acts as a precursor for synthesizing various heterocyclic compounds like pyridines and pyrroles. 2-Vinylpyridine (2-VP) serves as a vital component in polymer synthesis, with polyvinylpyridine, derived from 2-Vinylpyridine, finding application in materials science. Within biochemistry, 2-Vinylpyridine assumes the role of a substrate for synthesizing diverse enzymes, including cytochrome P450, and functions as a ligand for binding metal ions. The reactivity of 2-Vinylpyridine stems from its characteristics as a weak base and nucleophile, which are contingent upon the solution′s pH. Lower pH levels enhance its reactivity, enabling the formation of covalent bonds with other molecules. Conversely, at higher pH levels, its reactivity diminishes, leading to the formation of hydrogen bonds with other molecules.
