It depends on whether you're interested only in Kant's practical philosophy or in his theoretical philosophy aswell. The former depends on the latter for justification, but deontology as such, or Kantian deontology in particular, can be formulated without appealing to Kant's theoretical apparatus (although it is, of course, used in Kant's own writings).
Whatever the answer, you should definitely read the Transcendental Dialectic chapter from the Critique of Pure Reason before reading Kant's works on practical philosophy, religion and aesthetics (Critique of Judgement). The reasons are twofold:
- Kant himself initially intended the Critique of Practical Reaosn to be an appendix to this part of the Critique of Pure Reason, as he simply wanted to clarify how the ideas of reason (which are discussed in the Transcendental Dialectic) can be justifiably employed in practical reasoning (since they don't have a constitutive role in theoretical reasoning). He finally settled on publishing a separate book, but the Critique of Practical Reason is still merely an elaboration of themes present in the Transcendental Dialectic of the first Critique.
- The dichotomy between finite and infinite (and thus schematizable and unschematizable, i.e. given in experience and experience-transcendent) plays a crucial role in Kant's Critique of Judgement which also elaborates on many themes from his practical philosophy. The distinction is also implicitly present in the very idea of 'postulates of reason' and explains why Kant considers belief in God, immortal soul etc. (which correspond to one horn of the dialectic, i.e. the infinite, the experience-transcendent) to be justifiable on practical grounds (even though, contrary to popular belief, he was not religious at all and didn't himself believe in the afterlife).
The key work of Kant's moral philosophy is of course the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. It was the only work on practical philosophy that Kant initially intended to write. The Critique of Practical Reason was meant as a clarification of the relation between the first Critique and the Groundwork. The Metaphysics of Morals is an application of the Groundwork to concrete issues of, e.g. philosophy of right. Religion within the Bounds of Bare Reason discusses how religion is related to morality among other issues from philosophy of religion. The Critique of Judgement is explicitly concerned with bridging the gap between the 'realm of nature' (Critique of Pure Reason, Metaphysical Foundations of Natural Science) and the 'realm of freedom' (Groundwork, Critique of Practical Reason, Metaphysics of Morals) and it discusses how the ideas can be sensibly represented via symbolism. It's not an obligatory read if you're interested solely in Kant's practical philosophy, but it might be useful to get a fuller picture of it. There are, of course, also minor papers on various topics related to moral philosophy written by Kant, which you can find in various compilations.
As for Kant-scholars, you should probably read Onora O'Neil and Allen W. Wood to understand Kantian moral philosophy (which was, just like utilitarian moral philosophy, developed by multiple authors other than Kant). Both have also written on Kant's philosophy more specifically too, of course. Paul Guyer is an universally great Kant scholar, although you shouldn't rely on him if you're interested in very subtle distinctions or Kant's philosophy of natural science. But you can be sure he has written on anything Kant-related and can help clarify some misconceptions, even if he isn't sufficiently precise to demystify all issues. There are also more specific issues related to Kant's treatment of normativity and teleology, but I don't know of any one author which has written extensively on these problems. Good luck!
