Ethyl 3-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylate CAS:28447-17-8

As a versatile building block, this synthon facilitates efficient synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and specialty polymers. Carefully controlled additions to the acrylate systematically introduce chemical diversity enabling focused library creation. Reactions at the pyridine nitrogen also furnish analogs. These transformations rapidly generate diverse sets of compounds applicable for screening across therapeutic areas and crop protection. It also enables the design of stimuli-responsive and conductive polymers with tailored properties. Furthermore, strategic manipulations offer access to novel antimicrobial and antifouling coatings. Therefore, through targeted diversification of its distinct reactive sites, this intermediate supports versatile generation of drugs, agrochemicals, advanced materials and more.
