Application

2,4,6-collidine (2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine) is an organic compound which   belongs to the heterocycles (more precisely, heteroaromatics). It consists of   a pyridine ring substituted with three methyl groups. It belongs to the   substance group of the collidines, a group of six constitutional isomers.   2,4,6-trimethylpyridine is the most well-known isomer of this   group.2,4,6-Collidine（Cas#108-75-8） is used as a tissue fixative for electron microscopy.   2,4,6-Trimethylpyridine is used in organic syntheses (for example, for   dehydrohalogenation), by binding the formed hydrogen halides.
