(5-Bromo-3-pyridinyl)methanol is the PubChem title for CAS 37669-64-0 and formula C6H6BrNO. The matched public record is CID 2784733, with SMILES C1=C(C=NC=C1Br)CO and InChIKey WDVDHJLKXYCOFS-UHFFFAOYSA-N. PubChem also lists 5-bromo-3-pyridinemethanol and (5-bromopyridin-3-yl)methanol as synonyms, tying the different word orders to this single connectivity.
In the verified structure, the methanol carbon is attached to position 3 of the pyridine ring, while bromine is located at position 5. The hydroxyl group belongs to the external CH2OH unit rather than directly to the aromatic ring. Formula C6H6BrNO contains five ring carbons, one ring nitrogen, one side-chain carbon, one oxygen, and one bromine atom. No salt component or stereochemical layer appears in the PubChem representation. Stating both locants matters because moving bromine or the hydroxymethyl attachment would create a positional isomer with closely related wording.
When preparing an inquiry, pair the full name with CAS 37669-64-0 and include the quantity under consideration. Contact information and any request for identity documentation can be supplied in the message. PubChem CID 2784733 and InChIKey WDVDHJLKXYCOFS-UHFFFAOYSA-N provide structure-level checks if the request began from a drawing or database export. Rlavie can match those values to the intended 5-bromo, 3-pyridinyl methanol entry. This avoids relying on a shortened bromopyridinemethanol label that does not preserve the exact two-position pattern.
