CAS 101990-45-8: Pyridine, 2-bromo-5-(bromomethyl)- (9CI)
Description:Pyridine, 2-bromo-5-(bromomethyl)-, also known by its CAS number 101990-45-8, is a brominated derivative of pyridine, a six-membered aromatic heterocyclic compound containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features two bromine substituents: one at the 2-position and another at the 5-position, with a bromomethyl group attached at the 5-position as well. The presence of these bromine atoms significantly influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. Typically, brominated pyridines exhibit increased electrophilicity, making them useful intermediates in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is likely to be a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its specific form and purity. Its solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water is characteristic of many pyridine derivatives. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as brominated compounds can be hazardous and may pose environmental risks.
