N-(2-Chloro-6-(trimethylsilyl)pyridin-3-yl)pivalamide
N-(2-Chloro-6-(trimethylsilyl)pyridin-3-yl)pivalamide (CAS 1142191-74-9, C13H21ClN2OSi, molar mass 284.86 g/mol) is a functionalised pyridine building block. It combines a 2-chloro substituent, a 6-trimethylsilyl group and a pivaloyl amide on the pyridine ring, giving multiple orthogonal handles for further elaboration. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade organosilicon intermediate for pharmaceutical, agrochemical and fine-chemical synthesis, principally in directed metalation and cross-coupling routes.

Pharmaceutical intermediate
Used as a heterocyclic building block in medicinal-chemistry and pharmaceutical research, where the substituted pyridine scaffold is carried forward into more complex target molecules.
Cross-coupling substrate
The 2-chloro group provides a reactive site for palladium- or nickel-catalysed cross-coupling, allowing the introduction of aryl, heteroaryl and other carbon substituents onto the pyridine ring.
Organosilicon handle
The trimethylsilyl group at the 6-position serves as a versatile organosilicon functionality that can be retained, exchanged or removed during downstream synthesis.
Directed functionalisation
The pivaloyl amide is a well-established amide directing and protecting group, supporting regioselective metalation and controlled elaboration of the pyridine core.
Agrochemical and fine-chemical synthesis
As a halogenated heterocyclic building block, it is of interest in agrochemical discovery and broader fine-chemical research programmes that require substituted pyridine intermediates.
