N-(2,5-Dibromopyridin-3-yl)pivalamide
N-(2,5-Dibromopyridin-3-yl)pivalamide (CAS 1138444-05-9; C10H12Br2N2O; molar mass 336.02 g/mol) is a halogenated pyridine building block in which a 3-aminopyridine is protected as its pivaloyl amide and carries bromine at the 2- and 5-positions. The two carbon-bromine handles and the directing pivalamide make it a versatile intermediate for regioselective cross-coupling and metal-halogen exchange in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade intermediate to laboratories and manufacturers worldwide.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a multifunctional pyridine scaffold for constructing more elaborate nitrogen heterocycles. The differentiated 2- and 5-bromo positions allow sequential, regioselective elaboration of the ring.
Cross-coupling substrate
The two aryl-bromide bonds are suitable handles for palladium-catalysed couplings such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Negishi and Stille reactions, enabling the installation of aryl, heteroaryl, alkenyl and alkyl groups.
Directed metalation and halogen exchange
The pivalamide acts as a directing and protecting group for the ring nitrogen substituent, while the bromides support lithium- or magnesium-halogen exchange to generate reactive organometallic intermediates.
Pharmaceutical and agrochemical discovery
Used in medicinal-chemistry and discovery programmes where substituted aminopyridine cores are required. It is a research intermediate and is not itself an active pharmaceutical ingredient.
Laboratory research and reference use
Applied in method development, route scouting and structure-activity studies as a defined, single-compound reagent for synthetic chemistry.
