6-Chloro-4-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid(Cat No.:L047667)is a heteroaromatic compound with the molecular formula C7H6ClNO2. It features a pyridine ring substituted with a carboxylic acid group at the 2-position, a chlorine atom at the 6-position, and a methyl group at the 4-position. This combination of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents modulates its reactivity, making it useful in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and heterocyclic building blocks. The carboxylic acid functionality allows for further derivatization, including esterification and amide formation. It is typically a crystalline solid and should be stored in a cool, dry environment under standard laboratory safety precautions.
