Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a pyridine-based building block in multi-step organic synthesis, where the pivalamide and aldehyde substituents allow selective onward chemistry. It is typically used for laboratory-scale and discovery synthesis.
Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical intermediate
Functions as an intermediate for the preparation of more elaborate pyridine derivatives. The directing pivalamido group is commonly employed in synthetic routes toward substituted aminopyridines.
Aldehyde-driven derivatisation
The 3-formyl group provides a handle for condensations, reductive aminations and related transformations. This makes the compound a convenient starting point for building libraries of related structures.
Protected aminopyridine chemistry
The 2,2-dimethylpropionamide (pivalamide) acts as a robust protecting and directing group for the 4-amino position of pyridine, supporting regioselective ortho-functionalisation strategies in research settings.

We do not recommend specific end-uses beyond its role as a laboratory building block.
What is the CAS number and molecular formula of N-(3-Formyl-pyridin-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide?
+
Its CAS number is 86847-71-4. The molecular formula is C11H14N2O2 (Hill notation), with a molecular weight of 206.24 g/mol.
What grade and purity does Tech Serve Solutions supply?
+
We supply this compound as a research/technical-grade building block for synthesis. No pharmacopoeial assay is associated with the verified product data, so we do not represent it as USP, BP or EP grade. A current Certificate of Analysis with the batch assay is provided on request so you can confirm suitability for your application.
What are the safety and handling requirements for this compound?
+
It is classified under GHS07 with the signal word Warning. The hazard statements are H317 (may cause an allergic skin reaction) and H319 (causes serious eye irritation). Handle with suitable gloves and eye protection (P280); if in eyes, rinse cautiously with water for several minutes and remove contact lenses if present (P305+P351+P338). It carries a German Water Hazard Class WGK 3 (highly hazardous to water), so prevent release to drains and watercourses. Always consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
