Description

2-Picolylamine (CAS NO 3731-51-9) is a versatile heterocyclic amine featuring a pyridine ring with an aminomethyl substituent, making it a valuable bifunctional building block in organic synthesis. Its structure allows it to act as both a ligand in coordination chemistry and a key intermediate for the synthesis of more complex nitrogen-containing compounds. This chemical is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop new active ingredients or functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly those requiring functionalized pyridine motifs.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides where its amine group facilitates the creation of targeted bioactive molecules.
• Ligand for Metal Complexes: Serves as a chelating agent or ligand in catalysis and material science, forming complexes with transition metals for use in homogeneous catalysis.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Incorporated into formulations designed to protect metals, leveraging its ability to adsorb onto metal surfaces.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a monomer or curing agent in the production of specialty polymers, resins, and epoxy hardeners.
• Research & Development: A fundamental reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new synthetic pathways and creating novel chemical entities.

Quality Control

Our 2-Picolylamine is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including GC and HPLC, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and light.
