Diethyl 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]-2-methylmalonate

Diethyl 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]-2-methylmalonate is a synthetic organic compound with the molecular formula C14H15ClF3NO4 and a molecular weight of 353.72 g/mol. Its structure incorporates a pyridine core substituted with both a chlorine atom and a trifluoromethyl group at positions 3 and 5, respectively. This substituted pyridine is further connected to a 2-methylmalonate diethyl ester group. The presence of halogen atoms (chlorine and fluorine in the trifluoromethyl group) and ester functionalities contributes to its physicochemical properties and potential reactivity. Given its "druglike_bioactive_like" classification, it may serve as a valuable building block or lead compound in the synthesis of novel pharmaceutical agents or agrochemicals, particularly in areas exploring pyridine-containing scaffolds.

• Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat. Use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water. Store in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible materials. Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard information and safe handling procedures.
