N-(4-Hydroxymethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(4-Hydroxymethyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 653584-64-6; molecular formula C11H16N2O2; molar mass 208.26 g/mol) is a heterocyclic pyridine building block for organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. The molecule pairs a 3-aminopyridine protected as its pivalamide (2,2-dimethyl-propionamide) with an adjacent 4-hydroxymethyl group, giving two complementary handles for selective functionalisation. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade fine chemical to laboratories, contract research organisations and process-development groups worldwide.

Pyridine building block for synthesis
Serves as a substituted-pyridine scaffold in multi-step organic synthesis, where the pyridine ring is elaborated into more complex heterocyclic structures.
Pivalamide-protected aminopyridine intermediate
The 2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (pivaloyl) group masks the 3-amino position, allowing directed metalation and selective chemistry elsewhere on the ring before the amine is revealed by deprotection.
Hydroxymethyl functional handle
The 4-hydroxymethyl group offers a primary alcohol for onward transformation, such as oxidation, etherification, esterification or conversion to a leaving group for further coupling.
Pharmaceutical and agrochemical discovery
As a difunctional heterocyclic building block, it supports medicinal-chemistry and agrochemical research programmes that require functionalised aminopyridine cores. Specific end-uses should be confirmed by the customer for their application.
Reference and laboratory use
Suitable as a research reagent and reference material for method development, analytical work and small-scale exploratory chemistry.
