Description

2-(6-Bromopyridin-2-Yl)Ethanol is a versatile brominated pyridine derivative that serves as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its value lies in the dual functionality of the bromine substituent and the ethanol side chain, enabling precise molecular construction for complex target molecules. This high-purity intermediate is essential for research and development chemists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science industries seeking to develop novel active compounds and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for candidates targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and oncology.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of next-generation herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, leveraging the pyridine core for bioactivity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a starting material for creating specialized ligands used in transition metal catalysis and asymmetric synthesis.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of organic electronic materials, such as charge-transport layers or light-emitting components.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Useful for constructing molecular probes and tags for studying biological processes and target engagement.
• Custom Synthesis & Scale-Up: Provides a reliable, high-quality building block for contract research organizations (CROs) and custom synthesis partners.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(6-Bromopyridin-2-Yl)Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the stringent requirements of our global B2B clients. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
