Description
2-Bromo-3-methyl-5-nitropyridine (CAS No. 23132-21-0) is a high-purity nitropyridine derivative widely utilized in pharmaceutical research, agrochemical synthesis, and advanced material development. With the molecular formula C6H5BrN2O2, this heterocyclic compound serves as a versatile intermediate for nucleophilic substitutions, cross-coupling reactions, and functional group transformations. Its bromo and nitro substituents enable precise modifications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the design of kinase inhibitors and antimicrobial agents. Available in >98% purity (HPLC), this product is rigorously tested via GC/MS and 1H NMR to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Packaged under inert gas in amber glass vials to prevent degradation, it is ideal for high-throughput screening and multistep synthetic routes. Key applications include fragment-based drug discovery and coordination chemistry for catalytic systems.
