2,6-BIS(CHLOROMETHYL)PYRIDINE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

2,6-Bis(chloromethyl)pyridine may be used in the following studies:

• Synthesis of a sensitive fluorescent chemosensor for Hg²⁺, composed of two aminonaphthalimide fluorophores and a receptor of 2,6-bis(aminomethyl)pyridine.
• Preparation of carbene pincer ligands, required for the preparation of palladium pincer carbene complex.
• Synthesis of 2-(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)-6-diethylaminomethyl)pyridine, PNN ligand.

General Description

2,6-Bis(chloromethyl)pyridine is a heterocyclic building block for the synthesis of a variety of pyridine derivatives. It coordinates with metal ions through N-atom to form complexes. The conformational flexibility of the bromomethyl arms makes it an ideal choice for the generation of macrocycles. 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)pyridine crystals are monoclinic with space group P2₁/c. Its synthesis has been reported. The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)pyridine (BCMP) have been recorded in the regions 4000-400cm^-1 and 3500-100cm^-1, respectively.
