4-Bromo-2-pyridineethanamine

Description:

4-Bromo-2-pyridineethanamine, with the CAS number 1060808-84-5, is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring and an ethylamine side chain. This compound features a bromine substituent at the 4-position of the pyridine ring, which can influence its reactivity and biological activity. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of the bromine atom can enhance its electrophilic properties, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. The amine group in the ethylamine side chain contributes to its basicity and potential for forming hydrogen bonds, which can affect its solubility in polar solvents. This compound may have applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals, due to its structural features that can interact with biological targets. As with many amines, it may exhibit moderate toxicity and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in laboratory settings.
