(3-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol

(3-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol is the verified name associated with CAS 52378-64-0 and molecular formula C6H6BrNO. PubChem resolves the registry number to one compound, CID 14022521. Its connection pattern is encoded as SMILES C1=CC(=C(N=C1)CO)Br, while InChIKey FTTLCYCJDYIEFO-UHFFFAOYSA-N provides a compact structure reference. These values point to one neutral molecular component.

The parent ring is pyridine, so one of the six ring positions is nitrogen. A hydroxymethyl group is bonded at position 2, immediately beside the ring nitrogen, and bromine occupies adjacent position 3. The name's parentheses show that methanol is attached through the pyridin-2-yl fragment; it is not a hydroxy group bonded directly to the aromatic carbon. Five ring carbons plus the hydroxymethyl carbon account for C6, and the oxygen belongs to that terminal alcohol group.

For a technical inquiry to Rlavie, specify the complete name and CAS 52378-64-0, attach a structure file such as MOL or SDF, and state the requested quantity. Rlavie can compare the submitted graph with CID 14022521, the SMILES, and the InChIKey before reviewing request-specific information. This sequence keeps the discussion anchored to the 2-hydroxymethyl, 3-bromo substitution pattern. A shorthand label such as “bromopyridyl methanol” would not preserve those locants and could refer to a different positional isomer, even when the elemental formula remains C6H6BrNO.
