3-Chloro-6-methylpyridazine

Product Overview

3-Chloro-6-methylpyridazine is a chlorinated nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic compound with the molecular formula C₅H₅ClN₂ and a molecular weight of 128.56 g/mol. It belongs to the pyridazine family and features a six-membered aromatic ring containing two adjacent nitrogen atoms, together with chlorine and methyl substituents. This molecular structure makes it a useful building block in heterocyclic chemistry and organic synthesis.

The compound is generally supplied as a white to pale beige or light yellow crystalline powder. Its reported melting point is approximately 50–62°C, although the exact value may vary according to supplier specifications and product purity. It is slightly soluble in methanol and soluble in DMSO, making it suitable for selected laboratory synthesis and research processes.

3-Chloro-6-methylpyridazine is primarily used as an organic synthesis intermediate. The chlorine substituent provides a reactive site that can participate in substitution reactions, allowing chemists to prepare a variety of substituted pyridazine derivatives. Its pyridazine ring is an important structural feature in the development of nitrogen-containing organic molecules. The compound is therefore relevant to pharmaceutical intermediate research, heterocyclic chemistry, fine chemical development, and specialty organic synthesis. Its defined structure and functional groups make it a valuable starting material for researchers and manufacturers working with pyridazine-based compounds.
