Description

[2-(Methylsulfanyl)Pyridin-4-Yl]Methanamine CAS NO 1160059-05-1 is a high-purity, functionalized pyridine derivative featuring a methylsulfanyl substituent and a primary amine group. This unique bifunctional structure makes it a valuable and versatile pharmaceutical intermediate and organic synthesis building block for constructing complex molecules. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process development scientists in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for the development of new active ingredients and fine chemicals.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly those targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders, infectious diseases, and oncology.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of new pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides due to its heterocyclic core.
• Ligand and Catalyst Precursor: The amine and sulfur functionalities make it suitable for creating chelating ligands used in catalysis and material science.
• Chemical Research (R&D): Serves as a versatile scaffold for medicinal chemistry, enabling structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and library synthesis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Intermediate in the multi-step synthesis of complex dyes, pigments, and other performance chemicals.

Quality Control

Every batch of [2-(Methylsulfanyl)Pyridin-4-Yl]Methanamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
