5-Bromo-2-hydroxy-3-methylpyridine(CAT: L029010) is a halogenated pyridine derivative commonly used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and chemical research. The compound’s structure, featuring a bromine atom at the 5-position, a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, and a methyl group at the 3-position, provides versatile sites for further functionalization. This allows it to serve as a building block in synthesizing heterocyclic compounds and biologically active molecules, such as enzyme inhibitors and potential drug candidates. The hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity, enabling modifications through reactions like esterification and etherification. Additionally, its bromine substituent makes it suitable for cross-coupling reactions, such as the Suzuki and Heck couplings, often used in creating complex molecular frameworks.
