3-Acetylpyridine (CAS NO : 350-03-8)

3-Acetylpyridine (CAS No: 350-03-8) serves as a pivotal heterocycle in the pharmaceutical sector, where its bifunctional aromatic ketone structure facilitates the synthesis of critical active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) such as the anti-osteoporosis agent risedronate sodium and the tyrosine kinase inhibitors imatinib and nilotinib. Beyond its established role in medicinal chemistry, this versatile intermediate is witnessing robust demand within the flavour and fragrance industry, utilised as a FEMA-listed ingredient to impart nutty, roasted, and popcorn-like notes in complex olfactory formulations. Global production is currently dominated by Chinese manufacturers, who leverage integrated supply chains for pyridine derivatives and specialised heterocyclic infrastructure to account for approximately 60% to 65% of the total worldwide output. As a globally established 3-Acetylpyridine supplier with >98.0%(GC) purity, we ensure dependable supply, consistent quality, and complete regulatory documentation, including 3-Acetylpyridine CoA and 3-Acetylpyridine TDS across all grades. Beyond supply, we support partners through the entire product lifecycle from route scouting, process and formulation development, and analytical method development to scale-up, process optimisation, and pilot-to-commercial manufacturing. Our teams also assist with GMP-compliant quality assurance, regulatory documentation, and global supply chain and logistics coordination.
