2-Bromo-4-methylpyridine

Colorless to orange oily liqui

2-Bromo-4-methylpyridine may be used:

• in the total synthesis of ocular age pigment A2-E (2 equiv of retinal (vitamin A) and 1 equiv of ethanolamine)
• in the preparation of methoxy-2-(2-pyridyl)indoles
• in the preparation of 2-(2′,4′-difluorophenyl)-4-methylpyridine, via a Suzuki coupling reaction with 2,4-difluorophenylboronic acid

An intermediate of pyridinyl pyrrole compounds as proton pump inhibitors with improved gastric acid secretion suppressive activity

2-Bromo-4-methylpyridine can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, mostly in the structural modification and synthesis of drug molecules. In basic chemistry research, the substance can be used for the synthesis of a series of organic nitrogen ligands containing pyridine units, and has good applications in the basic research of methodology of transition metal catalysis.
