4-Iodopicolinic acid is a halogenated pyridine derivative, where an iodine atom is positioned at the 4th carbon of the picolinic acid (pyridine-2-carboxylic acid) structure. This compound is of interest in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry due to the presence of both a carboxyl group and iodine, which makes it useful for further functionalization through cross-coupling reactions. Researchers explore its potential in the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex bioactive molecules.
