N-(2-Chloro-6-iodopyridin-3-yl)pivalamide
N-(2-Chloro-6-iodopyridin-3-yl)pivalamide (CAS 1138444-26-4, C10H12ClIN2O, molar mass 338.57 g/mol) is a halogenated pyridine building block carrying differentiated chloro and iodo substituents alongside a pivalamide-protected 3-amino group. It is used principally in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis as an orthogonally functionalised scaffold for transition-metal cross-coupling and directed C-H functionalisation. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade heterocyclic intermediate to discovery and process laboratories worldwide.

Orthogonal cross-coupling scaffold
The more reactive C-I bond and the C-Cl bond allow sequential, selective palladium-catalysed couplings (Suzuki, Negishi, Sonogashira, Stille). This enables chemists to install two different substituents onto the pyridine ring in a controlled, stepwise manner.
Pharmaceutical intermediate
As a substituted aminopyridine, it serves as a building block in medicinal-chemistry programmes and the assembly of more complex heterocyclic drug candidates. It is offered for research and development use.
Directed metalation and C-H functionalisation
The pivalamide acts as a robust directing and protecting group for the 3-amino position, supporting directed ortho-metalation and regioselective functionalisation of the pyridine core.
Heterocyclic library synthesis
The dual halogen handles make the compound a useful node for parallel and combinatorial synthesis, allowing rapid generation of diversified pyridine analogues for screening libraries.
Agrochemical and specialty research
Halogenated pyridines of this type are common intermediates in agrochemical and specialty fine-chemical discovery. Specific end-uses depend on the customer's own synthetic route.
