Description

3,5-Pyridinedimethanol, 4-Hydroxy- (9Ci) is a versatile heterocyclic building block and fine chemical intermediate. This compound matters for its unique pyridine-based structure, which is functionalized with hydroxymethyl and hydroxy groups, making it a valuable synthon for constructing more complex molecules in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. It is primarily needed by R&D chemists and process development scientists working on active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), specialty chemicals, and advanced material synthesis. Its specific substitution pattern offers distinct reactivity for targeted molecular modifications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel drug candidates, particularly for central nervous system (CNS) and anti-infective agents.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the research and development of advanced pesticides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Ligand and Catalyst Development: Acts as a precursor for creating chelating ligands used in homogeneous catalysis and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
• Fine Chemical Production: Employed in the manufacture of specialty chemicals, dyes, and functional materials.
• Academic and Industrial Research: A valuable compound for methodological studies in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our 3,5-Pyridinedimethanol, 4-Hydroxy- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
