3-BROMO-4-CHLORO-5-NITROPYRIDINE

3-Bromo-4-chloro-5-nitropyridine (CAS 31872-63-6), also known as Pyridine, 3-bromo-4-chloro-5-nitro- or 3-Bromo-4-chloro-5-nitro-1-azabenzene, is a high-purity polyhalogenated nitropyridine intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, agrochemical development, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features a bromine substituent at the 3-position, a chlorine atom at the 4-position, and a nitro group at the 5-position of the pyridine ring, making it a versatile building block for the development of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). As a key intermediate in cross-coupling reactions, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, and nitro group reduction, it exhibits excellent reactivity in Suzuki coupling, Buchwald-Hartwig amination, Sonogashira coupling, and selective halogen displacement pathways. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring a purity of ≥98%, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicinal chemistry research, kinase inhibitor synthesis, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing polyhalogenated nitropyridine scaffolds, heterocyclic kinase inhibitor intermediates, agrochemical precursors, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable pyridine derivative intermediate from our product line, it serves as an important precursor for constructing functionalized nitrogenous heterocyclic systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
