N-(6-Methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropionamide
N-(6-Methoxy-pyridin-2-yl)-2,2-dimethylpropionamide (CAS 851102-40-4) is a heterocyclic building block with the molecular formula C11H16N2O2 and a molar mass of 208.26 g/mol. Structurally it is the pivalamide (2,2-dimethylpropionamide) derivative of 6-methoxypyridin-2-amine, combining a methoxy-substituted pyridine ring with a sterically hindered pivaloyl amide. It is used principally in organic and medicinal-chemistry synthesis as an intermediate for the preparation of functionalised pyridines. Tech Serve Solutions supplies it as a research-grade reagent to laboratory and process-development customers worldwide.

Pyridine building block for synthesis
Serves as a functionalised pyridine intermediate in multi-step organic synthesis, where the methoxy and pivalamide groups provide defined positions for onward chemical elaboration.
Medicinal-chemistry and discovery research
Used in medicinal-chemistry and discovery programmes as a heterocyclic scaffold for constructing more complex pyridine-containing molecules and analogue libraries.
Pivalamide-directed functionalisation
The pivaloyl amide is a well-established directing and protecting group in pyridine chemistry, supporting regioselective ortho-functionalisation and later removal to reveal the free aminopyridine.
Reference and laboratory reagent
Supplied as a research-grade reagent for laboratory-scale reactions, method development and analytical reference work.
