2-Amino-5-nitropyridine (Cat No.: R004811) is an aromatic heterocyclic compound featuring an amino group at the 2-position and a nitro group at the 5-position of a pyridine ring. It serves as a versatile intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. The presence of both electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents makes it reactive in nucleophilic and electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. It is particularly valuable in constructing more complex heterocycles and bioactive molecules due to its functional group versatility and pyridine-based scaffold.
