Description

2-Ethyl-5-nitropyridine (CAS No. 31557-73-0) is a high-purity nitropyridine derivative with the molecular formula C₇H₈N₂O₂. This compound is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. Its unique structure, featuring an ethyl group at the 2-position and a nitro group at the 5-position of the pyridine ring, makes it a versatile building block for heterocyclic chemistry. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure >98% purity (HPLC) and is supplied in sealed packaging under inert conditions to guarantee stability and longevity. Ideal for researchers in medicinal chemistry, material science, and catalysis, this compound is available in quantities ranging from grams to kilograms to meet both lab-scale and industrial needs.

Application

2-Ethyl-5-nitropyridine serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of biologically active compounds, including potential drug candidates and agrochemicals. Its nitro group facilitates further functionalization via reduction or nucleophilic substitution, while the pyridine core enhances binding affinity in target molecules. Researchers utilize this compound in the development of ligands for metal-catalyzed reactions and as a scaffold for heterocyclic diversification. It is also employed in material science for the design of nitroaromatic-based polymers and sensors.
