N-(3-Hydroxypyridin-2-yl)acetamide
N-(3-Hydroxypyridin-2-yl)acetamide (CAS 31354-48-0) is a heterocyclic building block with the molecular formula C7H8N2O2 and a molar mass of 152.15 g/mol. It is an acetamide-substituted hydroxypyridine that combines a phenolic 3-hydroxy group with a 2-acetamido group on the pyridine ring, giving it useful reactivity for further functionalisation. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade pyridine intermediate for chemical synthesis, medicinal-chemistry programmes and laboratory applications.

Pyridine building block for synthesis
Serves as a versatile heterocyclic building block in multistep organic synthesis. The combination of a hydroxy and an acetamido group on the pyridine ring offers convenient handles for selective derivatisation.
Pharmaceutical intermediate
Used in medicinal-chemistry and pharmaceutical research as an intermediate toward more complex aminopyridine and hydroxypyridine derivatives. It is supplied for research and manufacturing use, not as a finished pharmaceutical.
Heterocyclic scaffold development
Functions as a scaffold for constructing substituted pyridine and fused-ring systems. The 3-hydroxy and 2-acetamido substituents allow elaboration into a range of nitrogen-containing heterocycles.
Laboratory reagent and reference material
Employed in research laboratories as a defined small molecule for method development and analytical work. Its characterised identity (CAS 31354-48-0) supports reproducible experimental use.
