N-(2-Pyridinylmethyl)ethanamine
N-(2-Pyridinylmethyl)ethanamine (CAS 51639-58-8) is an organic building block with the molecular formula C8H12N2 and a molar mass of 136.19 g/mol. Structurally it is a secondary amine that links a 2-pyridylmethyl group to an ethylamino group, combining a basic aliphatic amine with a coordinating pyridine ring. This bifunctional, nitrogen-rich scaffold is used mainly in chemical synthesis as a heterocyclic intermediate and as a precursor to chelating ligands. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it for research and manufacturing use.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a pyridine-based C8 building block in multi-step organic synthesis. The secondary amine offers a reactive handle for alkylation, acylation and reductive amination en route to more elaborate molecules.
Pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediate
Used as an intermediate in the preparation of candidate active ingredients and functionalised heterocycles. Its pyridylmethylamine motif appears widely across medicinal and crop-protection chemistry.
Ligand precursor for coordination chemistry
The combination of a pyridine nitrogen and a secondary amine makes it a useful precursor to N,N-donor chelating ligands. Such ligands are studied in metal complexation and catalysis research.
Research and laboratory reagent
Applied in academic and industrial laboratories for method development and structure-activity studies. It is handled as a reactive amine reagent rather than a finished formulation.
