5-Bromo-2-pyridine carboxaldehyde

Advance your organic, medicinal, and agrochemical synthesis with 5-Bromo-2-pyridine carboxaldehyde (CAS No.: 31181-90-5, CAT No.: SRCB-019), a high-purity halogenated heterocyclic aldehyde. This compound features a bromine atom at the 5-position and an aldehyde at the 2-position of the pyridine ring, providing a versatile scaffold for cross-coupling, condensation, and building of functionalized pyridine derivatives. Its molecular formula is C₆H₄BrNO, with a molecular weight of 186.01 g/mol.

Typically supplied as an off-white to light yellow solid, 5-Bromo-2-pyridine carboxaldehyde is valued for its high purity (≥97%), reactivity in forming imines, hydrazones, or heteroaryl linkages, and solubility in DMSO, methanol, and other organic solvents. This aldehyde is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of bioactive compounds, pharmaceutical leads, and advanced heterocyclic materials.
