2-Aminopyridine N-oxide (Cat No.: M052798) is a heterocyclic compound derived from 2-aminopyridine, in which the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring is oxidized to form an N-oxide. This modification enhances the molecule’s polarity and hydrogen bonding capacity, making it useful in medicinal chemistry and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It serves as a building block for pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and ligands in coordination chemistry. The presence of both amino and N-oxide functional groups allows for diverse reactivity in functionalization and heterocyclic development.
