2-Chloro-4-methylpyridine is a key halogenated pyridine heterocyclic intermediate. Active chlorine atom is easy for nucleophilic substitution, amination, Suzuki coupling and other reactions to build various pyridine derivatives. Widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis for anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, central nervous system and anticancer drug intermediates. In agrochemical field, used for high-efficiency pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. Also applied in organic dye synthesis, chemical catalyst, biological reagent and new material research, widely used in custom fine chemicals and laboratory organic synthesis.
