2-Bromo-3,6-dimethylpyridine

Description:

2-Bromo-3,6-dimethylpyridine is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by a pyridine ring substituted with bromine and two methyl groups. Its molecular structure features a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom, which contributes to its basicity and reactivity. The presence of the bromine atom at the 2-position and methyl groups at the 3 and 6 positions influences its chemical properties, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the methyl groups. 2-Bromo-3,6-dimethylpyridine can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions, making it valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health hazards if inhaled or ingested.
