2-Fluoro-5-methylpyridine(CAT: L013548) is an organic compound featuring a pyridine ring with a fluorine atom at the 2nd position and a methyl group at the 5th position. This compound is commonly used as a building block or intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. The presence of both the electron-withdrawing fluorine and electron-donating methyl groups alters the reactivity of the pyridine ring, making it suitable for further functionalization in various reactions, such as nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) or cross-coupling reactions. Its use in medicinal chemistry helps in the development of biologically active compounds, where fluorinated heterocycles are often explored for their improved bioavailability and metabolic stability.
