About 2,6-Dibromoisonicotinic acid

2,6-Dibromoisonicotinic acid (CAS Number: 2016-99-1) is a bromo-substituted intermediate prized for its reactivity in metal-catalyzed coupling. ChemContract Research supplies this simple-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Aryl and alkyl bromides occupy a "Goldilocks zone" in cross-coupling — more reactive than chlorides yet more stable than iodides — making them the most commonly used coupling partners in process chemistry. Carboxylic acids are among the most synthetically versatile functional groups — they can be converted to amides, esters, acid chlorides, anhydrides, alcohols, and aldehydes in a single step.

Primary applications include grignard reagent preparation via magnesium insertion into c–br bond and amide bond formation via edc/hobt or hatu coupling in peptide synthesis. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 2,6-Dibromoisonicotinic acid for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.
