N-(4-Chloro-3-iodo-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(4-Chloro-3-iodo-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 898561-61-0; C10H12ClIN2O; molar mass 338.57 g/mol) is a halogenated pyridine building block bearing a pivalamide group at the 2-position with chloro and iodo substituents at the 4- and 3-positions. The orthogonal halogens and the directing amide make it a versatile intermediate for regioselective cross-coupling and functionalisation in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade building block to laboratory and process chemists worldwide.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a substituted pyridine scaffold in the construction of more elaborate heterocyclic systems. The defined substitution pattern allows controlled elaboration of the pyridine ring in multi-step synthesis.
Cross-coupling intermediate
The carbon-iodine and carbon-chlorine bonds offer differentiated reactivity for palladium- and copper-catalysed cross-coupling, with the more reactive iodide typically engaging first. This supports sequential, regioselective carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bond formation.
Pharmaceutical and agrochemical research
Used as a halogenated heterocyclic intermediate in medicinal-chemistry and agrochemical discovery programmes. It is a synthetic precursor rather than an active ingredient.
Directed functionalisation
The 2,2-dimethylpropionamide (pivalamide) acts as a robust, sterically hindered amide that can direct metalation and protect the ring nitrogen substituent during subsequent transformations.
