((5-Chloropyridin-2-yl)amino)(oxo)acetic acid

It often serves in the preparation of pyridine-containing drug candidates, because the: 5-chloropyridine ring is a frequent bioactive pharmacophore. oxoacetic acid (glyoxylate) group allows easy coupling reactions. ((5-Chloropyridin-2-yl)amino)(oxo)acetic acid is mainly used as a synthetic intermediate / building block in organic and medicinal chemistry rather than as a final end-use compound.
