Description

2,4-Dichloro-5-(Iodomethyl)-6-Methylpyrimidine is a high-value halogenated pyrimidine building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a versatile intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals, where its reactive halogen and iodomethyl groups enable precise molecular modifications. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for constructing complex heterocyclic frameworks.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel antiviral, anticancer, and antimicrobial agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Chemical Biology & Proteomics: Serves as a precursor for activity-based probes and molecular tags due to its reactive iodine moiety.
• Material Science Research: Potential monomer or cross-linking agent in the development of specialty polymers and functional materials.
• Custom Synthesis & Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to CROs and CDMOs for client-specific synthetic routes and scale-up projects.
• Academic Research: Utilized in university and institutional labs for methodological studies in heterocyclic and organoiodine chemistry.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2,4-Dichloro-5-(Iodomethyl)-6-Methylpyrimidine is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, handling and packaging should be performed under subdued light or amber containers to maintain stability.
