N-(4-Hydroxymethyl-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide

It is used as a heterocyclic building block and protected aminopyridine intermediate in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. Its pivalamide group and 4-hydroxymethyl handle provide two orthogonal sites for selective functionalisation, cross-coupling and chain extension in research and process-development work.

The CAS number is 551950-45-9 and the empirical formula is C11H16N2O2 (Hill notation), corresponding to a molecular weight of 208.26 g/mol. It is a pivaloyl-protected 2-aminopyridine bearing a hydroxymethyl substituent at the 4-position.

We supply this compound as a research/technical-grade fine chemical intended for synthesis and laboratory use. We do not represent it as USP, BP or EP pharmacopoeial grade. A current specification and certificate of analysis, including the assayed purity of the available lot, are provided on request with each enquiry.

No harmonised GHS classification is included in our supplied data for this item, so it is offered for professional laboratory use only. Handle it as a research chemical of undetermined hazard: use suitable protective gloves, eye protection and local exhaust ventilation, avoid dust, contact and ingestion, and store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Always review the accompanying safety data sheet before use.

It is packed in sealed, labelled containers sized to the order, from gram quantities to bulk research requirements, with full identity and batch documentation.
