Description

Ethyl nicotinate (CAS 614-18-6 ), also known commercially as Ignicut, is the ethyl ester of nicotinic acid used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, flavoring agent, and functional ingredient across multiple industries. It serves as a building block in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients and as a precursor in catalyst systems. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it functions as a key intermediate in the synthesis of niacin derivatives. Other nicotinic acid-based APIs utilize this compound where ester reactivity drives efficient conversion pathways. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into topical products targeting skin circulation effects, particularly in warming formulations. As a flavoring agent, it contributes to tobacco and food flavor profiles where pyridine-type notes are required. It carries a recognized FEMA status supporting its use in regulated flavor applications worldwide. In catalyst development, it acts as a ligand precursor or coordination compound in heterogeneous and homogeneous catalytic systems. The material is available as a colorless to pale yellow liquid in standard commercial packaging. It is supplied in pharmaceutical-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the purity requirements of API synthesis. Certificates of analysis aligned with USP and BP standards are commonly available. Contact us for supply of Ethyl nicotinate Request Quote
