Molecular Structure
Detailed Description
2,6-Dibromopyridine is used as a starting material to synthesize 2,2’-bipyridines (such as 5-Cyano-1,6-dihydro-6-oxo-[3,4'-bipyridine]-2-carboxylic Acid [C979150]) via a Stille-type cross-coupling reaction. 2,6-Dibromopyridine is also used as a reagent to synthesize pyridylpyrimidine fungicides, compounds that eliminate fungi by cycling copper through the cell membrane, where it reaches toxic levels.
