3-Bromo-5-iodopyridine

Advance your organic synthesis and research projects with 3-Bromo-5-iodopyridine (CAS No.: 233770-01-9, CAT No.: SRCB-042), a high-purity halogenated pyridine derivative featuring bromine and iodine substituents at the 3 and 5 positions respectively. This compound serves as a versatile key intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science research, particularly useful in the synthesis of chiral bipyridines and heterocyclic compounds.

With a molecular formula of C₅H₃BrIN and a molecular weight of 283.89 g/mol, it typically appears as an off-white to light yellow crystalline solid. Exhibiting a melting point range of 127–131°C and moderate stability, it is slightly soluble in water and light sensitive, requiring storage under inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) at 2–8°C. Its high purity (≥95%) and halogen functionalities provide excellent reactivity for nucleophilic substitution, cross-coupling, and heterocyclic functionalization reactions.
