Application
Ethyl 2-bromoisonicotinate (ethyl 2-bromopyridine-4-carboxylate, CAS 89978-52-9) is a versatile halogenated pyridine building block widely used as a pharmaceutical intermediate and research chemical. The bromine atom at the 2-position enables efficient palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (Suzuki-Miyaura, Buchwald-Hartwig, Sonogashira) to introduce diverse aryl, heteroaryl, or alkyl substituents, while the ethyl ester provides a handle for hydrolysis to the carboxylic acid or reduction to the alcohol. This scaffold is a key intermediate for the synthesis of Ivosidenib (a mutant IDH1 inhibitor for acute myeloid leukemia) and other therapeutically active compounds. It is also employed in the preparation of plasma kallikrein inhibitors, isonicotinamide derivatives, and various drug candidates targeting cancer, inflammation, and infectious diseases. As a heterocyclic organic building block, it facilitates rapid structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library construction in drug discovery.
