3-Bromo-5-methylpyridine

Description:

3-Bromo-5-methylpyridine is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with a bromine atom at the 3-position and a methyl group at the 5-position. Its molecular formula is C6H6BrN, indicating the presence of six carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, one bromine atom, and one nitrogen atom. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on the temperature and purity. It has a distinct aromatic odor and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the bromine and methyl substituents. 3-Bromo-5-methylpyridine is used in various chemical syntheses, particularly in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, as a building block for more complex molecules. Its reactivity is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the bromine atom, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
