N-(4-Methylpyridin-2-yl)acetamide
N-(4-Methylpyridin-2-yl)acetamide (CAS 5327-32-2; C8H10N2O; molar mass 150.18 g/mol) is an acetamido-substituted methylpyridine used as a heterocyclic building block in organic and medicinal chemistry. The molecule pairs an acetamide group with a 4-methylpyridine ring, giving a versatile, directing 2-aminopyridine derivative for synthesis. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade fine chemical to laboratories and manufacturers worldwide, with documentation and export-ready packing on request.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a pyridine-based intermediate in multi-step organic synthesis, where the acetamido and methyl substituents provide defined sites for further functionalisation.
Pharmaceutical and agrochemical research
Used in medicinal- and discovery-chemistry programmes as a 2-acetamidopyridine scaffold for preparing more complex nitrogen heterocycles. Applications are general and depend on the customer's route.
Protected aminopyridine intermediate
The acetamide can act as a protected form of the corresponding 2-amino-4-methylpyridine, allowing selective chemistry before deprotection back to the free amine.
Directed C–H functionalisation studies
As an N-(pyridin-2-yl)acetamide, it is of interest in methodology work that exploits the amide nitrogen and ring nitrogen as coordinating or directing groups.
Laboratory reference and method development
Supplied as a defined single compound for use as a synthetic reagent and in analytical method development where a characterised pyridine derivative is required.
