2,6-Dichloropyridine is a chloropyridine with the formula C5H3Cl2N. A white solid, it is one of six isomers of dichloropyridine. It serves as a precursor to the antibiotic enoxacin, [2] as well as the drug and anpirtoline and the antifungal liranaftate.
2,6-Dichoropyridine is produced by reaction of pyridine with chlorine. 2-Chloropyridine is an intermediate. [2]
