Application
2,6-Dichloro-3-fluoropyridine (CAS 52208-50-1) is a multifunctional halogenated pyridine building block widely utilized in pharmaceutical and agrochemical R&D. The presence of two chlorine atoms and one fluorine atom enables sequential, regioselective nucleophilic aromatic substitution and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig, Sonogashira). This scaffold is a key intermediate for the synthesis of highly potent kinase inhibitors targeting cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases (e.g., JAK, BTK, CDK inhibitors), as well as antiviral and antibacterial agents. In crop protection, it serves as a core precursor for developing broad-spectrum herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides with enhanced metabolic stability and environmental safety. Its electron-deficient pyridine ring improves binding affinity and bioavailability. High purity ensures reproducible results in high-throughput screening and scalable GMP manufacturing.
