N-(3-Formyl-2-pyridinyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide
N-(3-Formyl-2-pyridinyl)-2,2-dimethylpropanamide (CAS 86847-64-5; C11H14N2O2; molar mass 206.24 g/mol) is a functionalised pyridine building block that combines an aldehyde at the 3-position with a 2,2-dimethylpropanamide (pivalamide) group on the adjacent ring nitrogen-bearing carbon. Supplied as a research-grade reagent of 97% assay, it serves chiefly as a synthetic intermediate in chemical synthesis, notably as a reactant for the preparation of disubstituted azaindolines and related heterocyclic scaffolds.

Synthesis of disubstituted azaindolines
Documented as a reactant for the preparation of disubstituted azaindolines, where the 3-formyl group and the adjacent pivalamide nitrogen enable ring closure onto the pyridine core.
Heterocyclic building block
Used as a pyridine-based building block in chemical synthesis, providing a pre-functionalised scaffold for constructing fused and substituted nitrogen heterocycles.
Aldehyde for further functionalisation
The reactive 3-carbaldehyde supports common carbonyl transformations such as reductive amination, condensation and olefination, allowing further elaboration of the pyridine ring.
Protected/activated amine handle
The 2,2-dimethylpropanamide (pivalamide) group acts as a robust amide functionality on the ring, useful where a stable, sterically hindered acyl group is required during multi-step sequences.
Research and discovery chemistry
Suited to medicinal-chemistry and process-research laboratories developing pyridine and azaindoline-type intermediates. Supplied for research and manufacturing use, not for clinical or consumer application.
