5-Chloro-6-methyl-1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine（Cat No.:L039811）is a chlorinated heteroaromatic compound featuring a fused pyrrole–pyridine ring system with a chlorine atom at the 5-position and a methyl group at the 6-position. This scaffold is commonly used in medicinal chemistry for designing kinase inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents, and CNS-active drugs due to its resemblance to purine and indole systems. The chlorine atom enables further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions, while the methyl group fine-tunes the molecule’s electronic and steric properties. Its rigid, planar structure supports strong receptor binding and high biological relevance in drug discovery applications.
