(2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)boronic acid

(2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-3-yl)boronic acid, identified by CAS 205240-63-7, is a highly functionalized pyridine derivative. It contains a boronic acid group, a chlorine atom, and a trifluoromethyl group attached to a pyridine ring. With a molecular formula of C6H4BClF3NO2 and a molecular weight of 225.36, this compound serves as a key intermediate in synthetic organic chemistry. Its boronic acid functionality makes it particularly useful in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, enabling the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds with aryl halides or triflates. The presence of the chloro and trifluoromethyl groups provides opportunities for further functionalization and introduces specific electronic and steric properties, making it valuable for synthesizing novel pharmaceutical candidates, agrochemicals, and materials in research and development.
