Description

Ethyl 5-(Hydroxymethyl)Nicotinate is a high-purity nicotinic acid derivative, serving as a critical pharmaceutical intermediate and versatile building block in organic synthesis. Its bifunctional hydroxymethyl and ester groups make it a valuable precursor for constructing complex molecules with high selectivity. This compound is essential for research and manufacturing in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key building block for the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly in antiviral and central nervous system (CNS) therapeutic areas.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of advanced pesticides and herbicides due to its pyridine-based structure.
• Fine Chemical Production: Serves as a precursor for specialty chemicals, dyes, and functional materials.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new chemical entities and reaction pathways.
• Ligand and Catalyst Preparation: Utilized in the synthesis of complex ligands for catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).

Quality Control

Our Ethyl 5-(Hydroxymethyl)Nicotinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
