N-(2-Chloro-6-formylpyridin-3-yl)pivalamide
N-(2-Chloro-6-formylpyridin-3-yl)pivalamide (CAS 1142191-76-1, C11H13ClN2O2, molar mass 240.69 g/mol) is a halogenated pyridine building block used in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis. The structure combines a reactive aldehyde, a displaceable 2-chloro substituent and a 3-amino group protected as a pivalamide, giving three orthogonal handles for cross-coupling, condensation and deprotection. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade intermediate for laboratory and process development.

Pharmaceutical intermediate
Serves as a multifunctional pyridine scaffold in the synthesis of drug candidates and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Its three reactive sites allow concise, convergent routes to more complex heterocyclic targets.
Cross-coupling substrate
The 2-chloro group on the electron-poor pyridine ring participates in palladium-catalysed cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki, Buchwald-Hartwig and related transformations, enabling carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bond formation.
Aldehyde-directed functionalisation
The 6-formyl group is a versatile handle for reductive amination, condensation, olefination and reduction, providing access to imines, amines, alcohols and extended frameworks from a single intermediate.
Protected aminopyridine handle
The 3-amino function is masked as a pivalamide, a robust protecting group that survives many reaction conditions and can be removed to reveal the free amine for further elaboration.
Research and discovery chemistry
Used in medicinal-chemistry and library synthesis where a halogenated, polysubstituted pyridine core is required. Suited to laboratory-scale exploration and process-development work.
