Description

3-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid, 4-Amino-6-Chloro- is a high-purity, multi-functional heterocyclic building block of significant commercial and research interest. Its core value lies in its versatile pyridine core, which is strategically functionalized with amino and chloro groups, making it a critical intermediate for synthesizing complex molecules. This compound is primarily needed by pharmaceutical R&D teams and fine chemical manufacturers engaged in developing new active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), agrochemicals, and advanced materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: A key synthon for the development of novel drug candidates, particularly in kinase inhibitor and central nervous system (CNS) therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and production of advanced herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Serves as a precursor for creating specialized ligands in coordination chemistry and catalytic systems.
• Material Science Research: Employed in the synthesis of functionalized polymers, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), and organic electronic materials.
• Chemical Biology Probes: Utilized as a building block for designing molecular probes and diagnostic agents.
• Custom Synthesis and Contract Manufacturing: A vital starting material for custom synthesis projects and scale-up processes in fine chemical production.

Quality Control

Our 3-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid, 4-Amino-6-Chloro- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and commercial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and performance.
