2-Chloromethyl-3,5-dimethylpyridin-4-ol(CAT: R046775) is a substituted pyridine derivative characterized by a chloromethyl group at the 2-position, methyl groups at the 3- and 5-positions, and a hydroxyl group at the 4-position of the pyridine ring. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate in medicinal chemistry and heterocyclic synthesis, particularly in the design of small-molecule inhibitors, ligands, or bioactive scaffolds. The chloromethyl group provides a reactive handle for nucleophilic substitution, enabling further functionalization with a wide range of substituents.
