Methyl 2-amino-6-methylisonicotinate(CAT: L032210) is a methyl ester derivative of isonicotinic acid, widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound’s structure, featuring an amino group at the 2-position and a methyl group at the 6-position on the pyridine ring, allows for selective reactions, including acylation, alkylation, and condensation. These functional groups make it highly versatile for building complex heterocyclic structures, particularly in the development of antimicrobial agents and other biologically active molecules. Its methyl ester moiety also facilitates hydrolysis to the corresponding acid when needed, making it a flexible reagent for organic and medicinal chemistry.
