Description

1-(4-Methyl-Pyridin-3-Yl)-Ethylamine is a high-purity pyridine derivative building block of significant interest in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a key chiral intermediate in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty agrochemicals. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries seeking to introduce specific amine-functionalized heterocyclic motifs into complex molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A critical chiral building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in central nervous system (CNS) and antiviral therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced pesticides and herbicides, where the pyridine core contributes to biological activity.
• Ligand Precursor: Serves as a starting material for the preparation of specialized ligands used in asymmetric catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of complex dyes, pigments, and other performance chemicals requiring tailored molecular structures.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable reagent for methodological studies in organic chemistry, including novel amination and cross-coupling reactions.

Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Methyl-Pyridin-3-Yl)-Ethylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and chiral integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every 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, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
