Diethyl pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate

Synonimy: Diethyl 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylate, 2,4-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, Pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, 41438-38-4, Diethyl 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylate

Diethyl pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylate is a diester of 2,4-pyridinedicarboxylic acid, supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is a fine chemical building block rather than a formulated ingredient, and buyers typically source it as a synthetic intermediate for downstream chemistry.

The material is offered at ≥98.0% purity by HPLC, which suits most laboratory and pilot-scale work. The pyridine ring carries two ester groups at the 2- and 4-positions, giving chemists two distinct reactivity sites for selective functionalization.

Typical users are pharmaceutical and agrochemical R&D groups that need a pyridine dicarboxylate scaffold for ligand synthesis, API intermediate work, or agrochemical actives. It also appears in electronic materials research where a nitrogen-containing aromatic ester is required.

Applications & Formulation Use

Most volume goes into pharmaceutical process chemistry, where the compound serves as a starting material for pyridine-based APIs and intermediates. The two ester groups can be converted independently, so chemists use it to build unsymmetrical pyridine derivatives without protecting-group gymnastics.

Agrochemical discovery groups also buy it for herbicide and fungicide candidate synthesis. A smaller share moves into OLED and organic electronics research, where pyridine dicarboxylates act as ligands or building blocks for emissive materials.

Sourcing & Production

The compound is produced synthetically from pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid via esterification with ethanol under acid catalysis. Crude product is purified by recrystallization or distillation to reach the ≥98.0% HPLC grade we stock.

We supply it as a crystalline powder in lab-scale and pilot-scale quantities. Material is packed to protect against moisture and light, and each lot is tested before release.
