2-Ethoxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine(CAT: M013979) is a fluorinated heteroaromatic compound featuring an ethoxy group at the 2-position and a strongly electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl group at the 6-position of the pyridine ring. This substitution pattern imparts unique electronic characteristics, enhancing lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and chemical reactivity. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, where the combination of pyridine heterocycle and CF₃ functionality can improve target binding and bioavailability. The ethoxy group offers synthetic versatility for further functionalization, making this compound valuable in medicinal chemistry and heterocyclic synthesis research.
