Description

2-(5-Aminopyridin-2-Yl)Acetic Acid is a high-purity, functionalized pyridine derivative serving as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis. Its bifunctional structure, featuring both an acetic acid side chain and an aromatic amine, makes it a versatile intermediate for constructing complex molecular architectures. This compound is primarily utilized by research institutions and industrial R&D departments in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and material science sectors for developing novel active ingredients and functional materials.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key precursor in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly for molecules targeting central nervous system (CNS) disorders and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Building block for developing novel herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators with enhanced efficacy and selectivity.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Used to create chelating ligands for metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and homogeneous catalysis due to its nitrogen-containing heterocycle and carboxylic acid group.
• Polymer and Material Science: Monomer or functionalization agent for producing specialty polymers, dyes, and advanced materials with specific electronic or adhesive properties.
• Chemical Biology Research: Employed in the design and synthesis of molecular probes, enzyme inhibitors, and bioconjugates for biochemical and diagnostic applications.
• Custom Synthesis and Contract Manufacturing: Supplied to fine chemical companies for use in custom synthesis projects and scale-up production under cGMP conditions.

Quality Control

Our 2-(5-Aminopyridin-2-Yl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation and ensure long-term stability.
