3-Bromo-4-picoline(CAT: R001624) is a halogenated methylpyridine derivative featuring a bromine atom at the 3-position and a methyl group at the 4-position of the pyridine ring. This compound serves as a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and heterocyclic synthesis. The bromine atom provides a reactive handle for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Stille, and Buchwald–Hartwig, allowing for the construction of more complex, functionalized pyridine derivatives. The electron-deficient nature of the pyridine ring enhances its versatility in medicinal chemistry, making 3-Bromo-4-picoline a useful scaffold for designing bioactive compounds, ligands, and advanced materials in fine chemical development.
