4-Chloro-6-methylnicotinic acid(CAT: L038132) is a chlorinated derivative of nicotinic acid (pyridine-3-carboxylic acid), featuring a chlorine atom at the 4-position and a methyl group at the 6-position on the pyridine ring. This compound is valuable in organic synthesis, especially in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research, as nicotinic acid derivatives are often precursors in drug development. The presence of both chlorine and methyl substituents on the ring enhances its reactivity, enabling further functionalization. 4-Chloro-6-methylnicotinic acid is commonly used in synthesizing heterocyclic compounds and bioactive molecules, contributing to research focused on antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and other therapeutic agents.
