Some substituted 2-pyridones form the dimer in solid state, for example the 5-methyl-3-carbonitrile-2-pyridone. The determination of all these structures was done by X-ray crystallography. In the solid state the hydrogen is located closer to the nitrogen so it could be considered to be right to call the colourless crystals in the flask 2-pyridone.
Whereas 2-pyridone (α) and 4-pyridone (γ) predominantly adopt the oxo form, the 3-pyridone (β) cannot, and instead adopts an equilibrium of the zwitterion form, pyridin-1-ium-3-olate, and the enol form, 3-hydroxypyridine (the canonical form). The 3-pyridone is not mesoionic. This property of 3-hydroxypyridine is leveraged in biology in ...

N1-Methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (also known as 1-methyl-6-oxopyridine-3-carboxamide or nudifloramide and abbreviated as 2PY, 2-Py or NMPC) is one of a number of metabolic products of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) degradation.
Mineral salts pyridine broth is a selective medium for bacteria that can metabolize pyridine (which is an unusual carbon source that a select few types of bacteria can use). ). This medium is used to isolate bacteria belonging to the genus Arthrobacter among other bacteria g

The RNA world hypothesis holds that in the primordial soup there existed free-floating pyrimidine and purine ribonucleotides, the fundamental molecules that combine in series to form RNA. Complex molecules such as RNA must have emerged from relatively small molecules whose reactivity was governed by physico-chemical processes.
Pyridine N-oxide is five orders of magnitude less basic than pyridine: the pK a of protonated pyridine-N-oxide is 0.8. [7] Protonated derivatives are isolable, e.g., [C 5 H 5 NOH]Cl. [3]
