1H-Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-7-amine, 4,6-dichloro-1-methyl-

Description:

1H-Imidazo[4,5-c]pyridin-7-amine, 4,6-dichloro-1-methyl- is a heterocyclic organic compound characterized by its imidazo and pyridine rings, which contribute to its unique chemical properties. This compound features a methyl group at the 1-position and dichloro substituents at the 4 and 6 positions of the pyridine ring, enhancing its reactivity and potential biological activity. The presence of the amine group at the 7-position allows for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its solubility and interaction with biological targets. Typically, compounds of this nature are studied for their pharmacological properties, including potential applications in medicinal chemistry as they may exhibit antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, or anticancer activities. The molecular structure and substituents can significantly affect the compound's lipophilicity, stability, and overall biological profile. As with many heterocycles, the electronic properties imparted by the nitrogen atoms in the rings can also play a crucial role in the compound's reactivity and interaction with other molecules.
