N-(5-Methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide
N-(5-Methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-propionamide (CAS 898561-68-7; C11H16N2O2; molar mass 208.26 g/mol) is a heterocyclic building block in which a 5-methoxypyridin-2-amine carries a pivaloyl (2,2-dimethylpropanamide) group on nitrogen. The bulky pivalamide serves as a directing and protecting group on the aminopyridine scaffold, making the compound a useful intermediate in chemical synthesis and medicinal-chemistry research. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it for laboratory and process applications.

Pyridine building block for synthesis
Functions as a substituted aminopyridine intermediate for constructing more elaborate heterocyclic scaffolds. The pre-installed 5-methoxy substituent and 2-amino position provide defined handles for further functionalisation.
Protected aminopyridine
The 2,2-dimethylpropanamide (pivalamide) acts as a robust protecting group for the 2-amino function, allowing selective reactions elsewhere on the ring before the amine is unmasked.
Directed metalation and C-H functionalisation
Pivalamido groups on aromatic and heteroaromatic rings are widely used as directing groups for ortho-metalation and transition-metal-catalysed C-H functionalisation, supporting regioselective derivatisation of the pyridine core.
Medicinal and discovery chemistry
Serves as a research intermediate in medicinal-chemistry programmes that build on methoxy-substituted pyridine cores. Specific downstream targets depend on the synthetic route chosen by the user.
