6-Chloro-N-methyl-2-pyridinecarboxamide(CAT: R026091) is a halogenated pyridine derivative featuring a chloro substituent at the 6-position and an N-methylcarboxamide group at the 2-position. The combination of the electron-withdrawing chlorine atom and the polar amide functionality imparts unique electronic and physicochemical properties, making it a valuable intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical synthesis. Its structure supports diverse chemical modifications, enabling the development of bioactive molecules such as enzyme inhibitors, receptor modulators, or crop protection agents. The pyridine core enhances heteroaromatic stability and potential biological activity, while the N-methyl group can improve lipophilicity and modulate target binding affinity in drug design.
