ETHYL 4-PYRIDYLACETATE Usage And Synthesis

Uses

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.

Uses

Ethyl 4-Pyridylacetate shows potential ability as an anticonvulsant and also exhibits neuropathic pain-attenuating properties.

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.
