1-(3-Methylisoxazol-5-yl)methanamine
1-(3-Methylisoxazol-5-yl)methanamine (CAS 154016-55-4) is a heterocyclic building block with the molecular formula C5H8N2O and a molar mass of 112.13 g/mol. It pairs a 3-methyl-substituted isoxazole ring with a primary aminomethyl group, giving a reactive amine handle for chemical synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies this isoxazole intermediate to research, discovery and fine-chemical laboratories worldwide. The material is toxic if swallowed and must be handled by trained personnel.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as an isoxazole-based scaffold in chemical synthesis, where the methylisoxazole ring is carried into more elaborate target molecules. It is valued for introducing a defined five-membered N,O-heterocycle.
Amine for derivatisation
The primary aminomethyl group provides a reactive site for amide coupling, reductive amination, sulfonylation and related transformations. This makes the compound a convenient handle for building libraries of analogues.
Pharmaceutical and agrochemical research intermediate
As a functionalised isoxazole, it is used in medicinal-chemistry and agrochemical discovery programmes to assemble candidate structures. Specific end uses depend on each customer's route and are determined by the user.
Laboratory reagent for method development
Supplied for use in research and process-development laboratories that require a small, well-defined heterocyclic amine. It supports route scouting, screening and analytical reference work.
