5-Bromo-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine

Description:
5-Bromo-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridine is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by its fused imidazole and pyridine rings, with a bromine substituent at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 2-position. This compound is known for its potential mutagenic properties, often studied in the context of food chemistry and carcinogenicity, particularly in cooked meats where it can form during the cooking process of amino acids and creatine. It is a pale yellow to brown solid that is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the bromine atom enhances its reactivity, making it a subject of interest in synthetic organic chemistry. Its molecular structure contributes to its biological activity, and it has been investigated for its role in DNA damage and the formation of DNA adducts. Safety precautions are advised when handling this compound due to its potential health risks.
