Chemical Properties
White to pale brown solid
Uses
3-(Chloromethyl)pyridine Hydrochloride has been used as a reactant for the synthesis of (E)-3-((1H-Indazol-6-yl)methylene)indolin-2-one derivatives as Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) inhibitors.
Application
3-Picolyl chloride hydrochloride is an organic synthetic reagent for the preparation of N,N-bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aniline ligands, 2-oxodihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide derivatives, and 3β-amino-tropane arylamide derivatives with atypical antipsychotic profiles. It is also used in the preparation of novel bifunctional anion exchange resins for nuclear waste treatment.
