Product Information

• Name: 2-Bromo-6-nicotinic acid methyl ester
• Synonyms: Methyl 6-bromopicolinate6-Bromopyridine-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Bromo-6-nicotinic acid methyl ester is a monomer that is used in vivo as a reactive probe. It undergoes a thermally induced reaction with sodium carbonate to form picolinic acid and 2,6-dibromonicotinic acid. The picolinic acid can be converted to its fluorescent analog, which has been shown to be useful for the detection of tumors in mice. This compound also reacts with metal ions such as copper and zinc, which allows it to act as a ligand for metal complexes.
