N-(5-Chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(5-Chloro-pyridin-3-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 879326-78-0; molecular formula C10H13ClN2O; molar mass 212.68 g/mol) is a halogenated pyridine building block in which a 3-aminopyridine bearing a 5-chloro substituent is acylated with a pivaloyl (2,2-dimethylpropanoyl) group. Supplied as a research-grade solid, it serves chiefly as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and fine-chemical synthesis, where the chloro handle and the pivaloamide support regioselective functionalisation and metal-catalysed cross-coupling.

Pharmaceutical and fine-chemical intermediate
Used as a heterocyclic building block in multistep synthesis toward pharmaceutically relevant pyridine scaffolds. The substituted aminopyridine core is a recurring motif in medicinal-chemistry programmes.
Cross-coupling substrate
The aromatic chloro substituent provides a reactive site for palladium- or nickel-catalysed cross-coupling reactions, enabling the introduction of aryl, heteroaryl and other groups onto the pyridine ring.
Pivaloamide directing and protecting group
The bulky pivaloyl amide is a well-established protecting group for the pyridyl amine and can direct regioselective C-H functionalisation and directed metalation in heterocyclic chemistry.
Research and discovery chemistry
Employed in laboratory-scale exploratory synthesis and library preparation where a defined chloro-pyridine amide intermediate is required for further elaboration.
