5-Bromopyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine(CAT: L037752) is a heterocyclic compound that features a bromine atom at the 5-position of a fused pyrazolo-pyridine ring system. This structure combines a pyrazole ring fused to a pyridine, creating a rigid and electron-rich framework. The bromine atom enhances the compound’s reactivity, particularly in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura and Buchwald-Hartwig reactions, making it a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis. It is commonly used in medicinal chemistry and materials science for the development of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and functional materials. The pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine core offers potential biological activity, contributing to its utility in drug discovery efforts.
