Is pyridin hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

Question

many thanx

Answer 1

It is hydrophobic and I think it is the benzine ring.

Answer 2

The structural formula of pyridine ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyridine ) shows its polarity making it hydrophilic.

See at the same site: solubility in water  > "miscible"

Substances like pyridine with free electron-pairs but no active atom are called "passive hydrophilic"; they are able to form "hydrogen-bridges" with other polar molecules.
