N-(3-Dimethoxymethyl-pyridin-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(3-Dimethoxymethyl-pyridin-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 824429-52-9; C13H20N2O3; molar mass 252.31 g/mol) is a functionalised pyridine building block for organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. It combines a 4-aminopyridine scaffold protected as a pivaloyl (2,2-dimethylpropionamide) amide with a 3-position dimethyl acetal (dimethoxymethyl) group that masks an aldehyde. This dual protection makes it a versatile heterocyclic intermediate for directed functionalisation and downstream multi-step routes. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it to research and manufacturing laboratories worldwide.

Pyridine building block for synthesis
Serves as a heterocyclic building block in chemical and pharmaceutical research, providing a substituted 4-aminopyridine core for the assembly of more complex molecules. The pyridine ring offers defined positions for further functionalisation.
Protected aldehyde equivalent
The 3-dimethoxymethyl group is a dimethyl acetal that masks an aldehyde, allowing the carbonyl to be carried through subsequent steps and revealed by mild acid hydrolysis when required. This supports selective, multi-step synthetic sequences.
Amine-protected intermediate
The 2,2-dimethylpropionamide (pivalamide) protects the ring amine and can act as a directing group during metalation or coupling chemistry. It contributes to controlled regioselectivity in elaboration of the pyridine scaffold.
Pharmaceutical intermediate
Used as an intermediate in the preparation of pharmaceutical and other fine-chemical compounds. It is intended for research, development and manufacturing use by qualified laboratories.
Reference and method development
Suitable as a characterised intermediate for analytical method development, process research and route-scouting studies where a defined, well-documented pyridine building block is needed.
