3-Bromoimidazo[1,5-a]pyridine(CAT: L030790) is a halogenated fused heteroaromatic compound featuring a bromine atom at the 3-position of the imidazo[1,5-a]pyridine core. This scaffold is of high interest in medicinal chemistry due to its presence in numerous bioactive molecules, including antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and oncology drug candidates. The bromine substituent serves as a versatile handle for cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Buchwald–Hartwig, and Sonogashira, enabling rapid functionalization and diversification. It is widely used in the design of kinase inhibitors, CNS-active compounds, and fluorescent probes. Its electron-rich, planar structure also makes it suitable for incorporation into pharmacophores and conjugated systems.
