Product Information

• Name: 3-Bromo-4-methylpyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3-Bromo-4-methylpyridine is a molecule that consists of a five-membered ring containing three bromine atoms and one carbon atom. It has the chemical formula C5H6BrN. The molecule contains two methyl groups attached to the pyridine ring (hence its name). 3-Bromo-4-methylpyridine has been shown to be an effective synthon for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, which are used in organic synthesis for the production of pharmaceuticals. This molecule is also an excellent ligand for metal ions, such as calcium and hydrogen, because it forms strong bonds with these ions. 3-Bromo-4-methylpyridine can be used as a bidentate ligand because it has two nitrogen atoms that can bind to metal ions. The molecule also has functional properties, such as photochromism and bilayer formation due to its symmetry.
