1. Basic Info
Name: 3-Bromopyridine
Alias: 3-Pyridyl bromide, m-Bromopyridine
CAS No.: 626-55-1
Molecular Formula: C5H4BrN
Molecular Weight: 157.99
2. Physical & Chemical Properties
Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid
- Odor: Pungent pyridine-like irritating odor
- Solubility: Slightly soluble in water; miscible with ethanol, methanol, acetone, dichloromethane, toluene, ether
- Melting Point: 2.5–3.0 ℃
- Boiling Point: 173–174 ℃
- Density (20℃): 1.640 g/cm3
- Refractive Index nD2?: 1.569–1.572
- Hygroscopy: Absorbs trace water in air; long-term light exposure turns dark brown
Chemical Properties
- Molecular structure: Pyridine ring substituted with bromine at meta-position (3-site)
- Aromatic halogen reactivity: Undergoes Suzuki, Heck, Sonogashira, Buchwald cross-coupling reactions with palladium catalyst
- Weak alkalinity: Ring nitrogen combines with inorganic acids to form hydrobromide salts
- Metal lithiation: React with n-BuLi to generate 3-pyridyllithium for further functionalization
- Nucleophilic substitution: Bromine can be replaced by amine, cyano, hydroxyl, alkoxy groups
- Photodegradation: UV/light triggers dehalogenation and polymerization; must store light-proof
- Thermal stability: Stable at normal distillation temperature; high temperature above 220℃ releases bromide decomposition products
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous organic solvents; incompatible with strong oxidants, strong alkali, active metals (Na, K)
3. Main Application Fields
