7-Chloro-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Description:

7-Chloro-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine is a heterocyclic aromatic compound known for its potential role as a mutagen and carcinogen. It features a fused imidazole and pyridine ring system, with a chlorine atom and a methyl group substituent that influence its chemical reactivity and biological activity. This compound is typically characterized by its relatively low solubility in water, but it can dissolve in organic solvents, which is common for many heterocycles. The presence of the chlorine atom contributes to its electrophilic properties, making it reactive in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. Its structure allows for interactions with biological macromolecules, which can lead to DNA adduct formation, a key mechanism in its mutagenic potential. Due to these properties, 7-Chloro-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine is of interest in toxicology and environmental chemistry, particularly in studies related to food safety and the assessment of chemical carcinogens.
