2-Acetylpyridine is an organic compound with the formula CH
3COC
5H
4N. It is a viscous colorless liquid that is widely used as a
flavoring substance. It is found in
malt and produced by the
Maillard reaction and by
nixtamalization. It contributes to the flavor of corn
tortillas,
popcorn, and
beer.
[3]
The compound is prepared by acylation of 2-bromopyridine via the Grignard reagent. [4]
