General description

Ethyl 4-pyridylacetate is an ethyl ester of 4-pyridyl acetic acid. Its hydrochloride salt was used to prepare the starting material required for the synthesis of 2,2-dideutero-1-azabicyclo(2,2,2)-octane. It participates as a reagent in the synthesis of triarylethane phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors.

Application

Ethyl 4-pyridylacetate is a pyridine-based compound used for the grafting onto the self-adhesive gold substrates.
It may be used for the the following:
  • As a starting material in the synthesis of 4-piperidylethanol.
  • As a reactant in the synthesis of 4-(pyridyl) isosteres of meperidine.
  • As a starting material in the synthesis of ethyl-4-piperidylacetate.
