2-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine; CAS No.: 1557344-85-0; 2-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine. PROPERTIES: 2-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine presents as a pale brown solid with molecular weight 208.07 g/mol. Its melting point ranges between 205-208 C and it exhibits good thermal stability. The compound shows limited solubility in common organic solvents but can be dissolved in hot DMF or DMSO. Proper storage requires maintaining temperatures below 25 C in sealed containers. Safety precautions include avoiding contact with eyes and skin due to potential irritation and using powder-free nitride gloves during handling. APPLICATIONS: This brominated imidazopyridine derivative is employed in the synthesis of next-generation antiviral agents, where the 2-bromo-3H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine core facilitates interactions with viral proteases (Antiviral Research). In chemical biology, the compound serves as a scaffold for developing covalent inhibitors targeting intracellular signaling pathways involved in inflammation (Chemical Science). Furthermore, its structural features make it suitable for incorporation into fluorescent probes used in live-cell imaging applications due to its ability to undergo site-specific modification (ACS Chemical Biology).
