N-(4-Methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(4-Methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 898561-60-9) is a heterocyclic building block in which a pivaloyl (2,2-dimethylpropanoyl) group is attached to the 2-amino position of 4-methoxypyridine. With the molecular formula C11H16N2O2 and a molar mass of 208.26 g/mol, it is a substituted aminopyridine amide used principally as an intermediate and pivalamide-protected synthon in chemical synthesis and medicinal-chemistry research. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade building block to laboratories and manufacturers worldwide.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a functionalised pyridine building block for the construction of more complex nitrogen heterocycles. The combination of a 4-methoxy substituent and a 2-amido group offers defined sites for onward elaboration.
Pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry intermediate
Used as an intermediate in chemical-synthesis and drug-discovery programmes that require a substituted 2-aminopyridine scaffold. It supports library synthesis and structure-activity studies in research settings.
Pivalamide-protected aminopyridine synthon
The pivaloyl group acts as a robust protecting and directing group for the 2-aminopyridine nitrogen, helping to control reactivity and regioselectivity during subsequent functionalisation. The amide can be cleaved later to reveal the free amine.
Reference and research reagent
Employed as a characterised reagent and reference material in method development, analytical work and exploratory synthesis. It is intended for research and manufacturing use, not for direct therapeutic application.
