Overview
4-Bromo-2,6-dichloropyridine (CAS 1006-97-5; C5HBrCl2N) is a heterocyclic intermediate synthesized via selective chlorination and bromination of pyridine derivatives. It serves as a critical scaffold for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Application
- Pharmaceutical synthesis: Precursor for kinase inhibitors and antiviral agents.
- Agrichemicals: Used in developing novel fungicides and herbicides.
- Material science: Intermediate for specialized conductive polymers.
Precautions
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection to prevent skin contact and inhalation of dust.
