2-Iodo-3,5-dimethoxypyridine

Description:

2-Iodo-3,5-dimethoxypyridine is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by the presence of a pyridine ring substituted with iodine and methoxy groups. The molecular structure features an iodine atom at the 2-position and two methoxy groups at the 3 and 5 positions of the pyridine ring, which significantly influence its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit a pale yellow to brown color. It is soluble in organic solvents such as dichloromethane and ethanol but may have limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic methoxy groups. The presence of the iodine atom can enhance its reactivity in nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the methoxy groups can serve as electron-donating groups, affecting the electronic distribution within the molecule. 2-Iodo-3,5-dimethoxypyridine may find applications in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and as an intermediate in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
