5,5'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine is widely used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a raw material in the synthesis of dyestuffs and agrochemicals. It is used as a precursor for the preparation of 5-methyl-5’vinyl-2,2’-bipyridine.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
