N-(4-Iodo-2-methoxypyridin-3-yl)pivalamide
N-(4-Iodo-2-methoxypyridin-3-yl)pivalamide (CAS 131653-62-8) is a halogenated pyridine building block with the molecular formula C11H15IN2O2 and a molar mass of 334.15 g/mol. It pairs a reactive 4-iodo substituent with a 2-methoxy group and a pivaloyl-protected 3-amino function on the pyridine ring, making it a versatile intermediate for directed metalation and transition-metal-catalysed cross-coupling in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade intermediate to laboratory and process users worldwide.

Cross-coupling intermediate
The carbon-iodine bond at the 4-position is a convenient handle for palladium- or nickel-catalysed couplings such as Suzuki-Miyaura, Negishi, Sonogashira and related reactions, allowing controlled introduction of aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl groups onto the pyridine ring.
Pharmaceutical building block
As a substituted aminopyridine scaffold, it serves as a building block in the synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates and candidate molecules, where the pyridine core is a common pharmacophore.
Protected aminopyridine for multistep synthesis
The pivalamide group masks the 3-amino function as a robust, sterically hindered amide that tolerates many reaction conditions and can be removed later, supporting selective transformations in multistep routes.
Directed functionalisation of pyridines
The amide and methoxy substituents can act as directing and modulating groups in regioselective metalation and further elaboration of the heterocyclic core.
Research and discovery chemistry
It is used in medicinal-chemistry and process-development laboratories for library synthesis and structure-activity studies built around the halogenated pyridine framework.
