Description

Methyl 3-(Aminomethyl)Picolinate is a high-purity, functionalized picolinate derivative serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its bifunctional nature, featuring both an ester and a primary amine group, which enables its use in constructing complex molecular architectures. It is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams and fine chemical manufacturers for applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemical intermediates.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of drug candidates, especially those targeting neurological and oncological pathways.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing new-generation herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Used to create novel chelating ligands for metal catalysis and coordination chemistry.
• Peptidomimetics & Bio-conjugation: The amine functionality allows for incorporation into peptide backbones or for linking to biomolecules.
• Material Science Research: Monomer or modifier in the synthesis of specialized polymers and functional materials.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Serves as a scaffold for developing fluorescent tags or activity-based probes for enzyme studies.

Quality Control

Our Methyl 3-(Aminomethyl)Picolinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and KF titration for moisture content, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
