What are the physical and chemical properties of 2,4-Dibromopyridine 1-oxide (CAS: 117196-08-4)?

2,4-Dibromopyridine 1-oxide (CAS: 117196-08-4) is a solid with a crystalline form. Its molecular weight is approximately 270.04 g/mol. It has a low solubility in water but is more soluble in organic solvents such as dimethylformamide and acetonitrile. Chemically, it is less reactive than many other derivatives of pyridine due to the electron-withdrawing bromine atoms, which stabilize the positive charge on the nitrogen atom. It is stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a dry place away from moisture.
