2-Chloronicotinic Acid

Chemical Name: 2-Chloronicotinic acid
Synonyms: 2-Chloro-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid
CAS Number: 2942-59-8
Molecular Formula: C₆H₄ClNO₂
Molecular Weight: 157.55 g/mol

Structure

2-Chloronicotinic acid structure
*(2-position chlorine-substituted derivative of nicotinic acid)*

Physical Properties of 2-Chloronicotinic Acid

  • Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder

  • Melting Point: ~190–195 °C

  • Solubility:

    • Slightly soluble in water

    • Soluble in organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, DMSO, DMF)

Chemical Properties 

  1. Acidity: Contains a carboxylic acid group (pKa ~4–5).

  2. Reactivity:

    • The chlorine at the 2-position can undergo nucleophilic substitution (e.g., with amines, alkoxides).

    • The carboxyl group can form esters, amides, or salts.

  3. Stability: Stable under normal conditions but may decompose under strong acids/bases or oxidizing agents.

Synthesis Methods

  1. Carboxylation of 2-chloropyridine:

    • Reaction with n-BuLi or LDA followed by CO₂ trapping.

  2. Chlorination of nicotinic acid:

    • Selective chlorination using SOCl₂, PCl₅, or POCl₃.

Applications of 2-Chloronicotinic Acid

1. Pharmaceutical Intermediates

  • Drug Synthesis: Key building block for kinase inhibitors (e.g., anticancer agents) and antibacterial compounds.

  • Examples:

    • Used in the synthesis of PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors (immunotherapy drugs).

    • Intermediate for heterocyclic bioactive molecules (e.g., quinolone analogs).

2. Agrochemicals

  • Herbicides & Pesticides: Functionalized to create chlorinated pyridine derivatives with herbicidal activity.

  • Example: Precursor for sulfonylurea-class herbicides.

3. Organic Synthesis

  • Cross-Coupling Reactions: The 2-chloro group enables Pd-catalyzed couplings (e.g., Suzuki, Heck reactions).

  • Carboxyl Group Utility: Converted to esters, amides, or reduced to alcohols for further derivatization.

4. Material Science

  • Ligand Design: Chelating agent for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or catalysts.

  • Electronic Materials: Used in synthesizing conductive polymers or organic semiconductors.


Safety & Handling

  • Hazards: May cause skin/eye irritation (handle with gloves & goggles).

  • Storage: Keep in a dry, cool place, away from strong oxidizers.

  • First Aid: Rinse with water if exposed; seek medical advice if ingested.
