3-(Ethylsulfanyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid(CAT: L049113) is a sulfur-containing pyridine derivative commonly used as an intermediate in organic and medicinal chemistry. This compound features an ethylsulfanyl (ethylthio) group at the 3-position and a carboxylic acid at the 2-position of the pyridine ring. The ethylsulfanyl group introduces sulfur, which can enhance lipophilicity and binding interactions with biological targets, while the carboxylic acid provides a polar functional group that can form salts or be modified for further synthesis. Due to these properties, it serves as a versatile scaffold for developing bioactive molecules, including enzyme inhibitors and receptor ligands, particularly for applications in drug discovery and development.
