Methyl 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinate

Methyl 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoronicotinate (CAS 189281-66-1), also known as Methyl 2,6-dichloro-5-fluoropyridine-3-carboxylate, is a high-purity polyhalogenated pyridine ester intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, agrochemical development, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features chlorine substituents at the 2- and 6-positions, a fluorine atom at the 5-position, and a methyl ester group at the 3-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 ester hydrolysis, 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, herbicide intermediate production, and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing polyhalogenated pyridine scaffolds, agrochemical precursors, heterocyclic kinase inhibitor intermediates, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable pyridine derivative intermediate from our product line, it serves as an important precursor for constructing functionalized halogenated aromatic systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
