2,6-Lutidine is a natural heterocyclic aromatic organic compound. It has been isolated from the basic fraction of coal tar and from bone oil.[1] It is a dimethyl substituted derivative of pyridine. It has been detected in waste water from oil shale processing sites and former creosoting facilities. 2,6-Lutidine has been evaluated for use as a food additive owing to its nutty aroma when present in solution at very low concentrations, however the neat solvent has a pungent, noxious odor.[3]

2,6-Lutidine is weakly nucleophilic, due to the steric effects of the two methyl groups on the ring nitrogen. It is moderately basic, with a pKa of 6.60.[2] In organic synthesis, 2,6-lutidine is thus widely used as a sterically hindered mild base.

Environmental Properties

Though pyridine is an excellent source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for certain microorganisms, methylation significantly retards degradation of the pyridine ring. 2,6-Lutidine was found to be significantly more resistant to microbiological degradation than any of the picoline isomers or 2,4-lutidine in soil.[4] Significant volatilization loss was observed in liquid media. Estimated time for complete degradation was > 30 days.[5]
