2-Chloro-6-hydrazinopyridine is a nucleophilic reagent that can be used in analytical techniques. It reacts with nucleophiles such as amines and thiols, forming an imine nitrogen. The electron density of this nitrogen is higher than the other nitrogen atoms present in the molecule, making it more reactive. 2-Chloro-6-hydrazinopyridine can also be used to synthesize copper complexes with phosphines and oxygenated ligands. 2-Chloro-6-hydrazinopyridine has been shown to have anticancer activity. This may be due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and proteins by blocking the activity of ribonucleotide reductase and dihydrofolate reductase.
