3-picolylamine

3-(Aminomethyl)pyridine (CAS 3731-52-0), also known as 3-Picolylamine or Pyridin-3-ylmethanamine, is a high-purity aminomethyl-substituted pyridine intermediate widely used in pharmaceutical synthesis, organic chemistry research, agrochemical development, and fine chemical manufacturing. This compound features an aminomethyl group at the 3-position of the pyridine ring, making it a versatile building block for the development of complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). As a key intermediate in reductive amination, amide coupling, and heterocyclic functionalization, it exhibits excellent reactivity in nucleophilic substitution, condensation reactions, and pyridine ring derivatization pathways. Our product is manufactured under strict quality control standards, ensuring a purity of ≥98%, making it ideal for pharmaceutical manufacturing, medicinal chemistry research, rodenticide intermediate synthesis (such as vacor precursors), and scale-up production. This compound is particularly valuable in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals containing pyridylmethylamine scaffolds, heterocyclic kinase inhibitor intermediates, agrochemical precursors, and specialty chemical precursors. As a reliable pyridine derivative intermediate from our product line, it serves as an important precursor for constructing functionalized nitrogenous heterocyclic systems in drug discovery and fine chemical development programs.
