The picolinic acid ( pyridine-2-carboxylic acid ) is an organic compound belonging to the heterocycles : (specifically heteroaromatic counts). They consist of a pyridine ring that is substituted with a carboxy group  (−COOH). Together with the other two isomeric nicotinic acid and isonicotinic acid, it belongs to the group of pyridinecarboxylic acids with the empirical formula C 6 H 5 NO 2 .

Of the picolinic acid is particularly the passes Di picolinic acid ( pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid ), which in the immediate vicinity to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine two carries carboxyl groups.

presentation

By oxidation, e.g. B. by means of potassium permanganate (KMnO 4 ), picolinic acid is formed from 2-picoline .
