N-(4-tert-Butylsulfanyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(4-tert-Butylsulfanyl-pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 766557-58-8; C14H22N2OS; molar mass 266.40 g/mol) is a heterocyclic building block built on a 3-aminopyridine core. It pairs a tert-butylthio (tert-butylsulfanyl) group at the 4-position with a pivaloyl amide (2,2-dimethylpropionamide) at the 3-amino nitrogen. This functionalised pyridine is used in chemical synthesis and medicinal-chemistry research as an intermediate and scaffold for further elaboration. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade material to laboratory and process-development customers worldwide.

Heterocyclic building block
Serves as a pyridine-based building block for the assembly of more complex nitrogen heterocycles. The pre-installed substitution pattern at the 3- and 4-positions provides a defined platform for downstream chemical synthesis.
Pharmaceutical and medicinal-chemistry research
Functionalised aminopyridines of this type are widely employed as intermediates and scaffolds in early-stage drug-discovery and structure-activity studies. It is offered for research and development use, not for clinical or therapeutic application.
Protected amine handle (pivalamide)
The 2,2-dimethylpropionamide (pivaloyl) group is a robust amide that masks the pyridyl amine and is a classic directing group in directed ortho-metalation chemistry. It allows controlled further functionalisation and can be removed under suitable conditions to reveal the free amine.
Protected thiol equivalent (tert-butylthio)
The tert-butylsulfanyl substituent acts as a stable, masked thiol handle on the pyridine ring. It can be carried through multi-step sequences and later transformed, supporting the synthesis of sulfur-containing targets.
Reference and analytical use
As a defined single compound with a known CAS number and molecular formula, it can be used as a characterised reference material in method development and analytical work.
