CAS 16110-09-1: 2,5-Dichloropyridine

2,5-Dichloropyridine is a reactive substance that belongs to the group of halogenated substances. It can be found as a white crystalline solid or as a yellow gas. 2,5-Dichloropyridine reacts with water vapor in the air to form hydrochloric acid and chloride. This substance also has photocatalytic activity and is used as an affinity ligand for separation of organic compounds from soil microorganisms. 2,5-Dichloropyridine is used in the production of dimethylformamide and can be synthesized by reacting aryl chlorides with water vapor in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

2,5-Dichloropyridine was used in the synthesis of 6-halo-pyridin-3-yl boronic acids and esters. It undergoes cross-coupling reaction with arylboronic acids in the presence of [1,4-bis-(diphenylphosphine)butane]palladium (II) dichloride as catalyst.
