4-Methylpyridine is both isolated from coal tar and is synthesized industrially. It forms via the reaction of acetaldehyde and ammonia in the presence of an oxide catalyst. The method also affords some 2-methylpyridine. 4-Methylpyridine is of little intrinsic value but is a precursor to other commercially significant species, often of medicinal ...
Methylpyridinium is prepared by treating pyridine with dimethylsulfate: [2]. C 5 H 5 N + (CH 3 O) 2 SO 2 → [C 5 H 5 NCH 3] + CH 3 OSO − 3. It is found in some coffee products. [3] It is not present in unroasted coffee beans, but is formed during roasting from its precursor chemical, trigonelline. [3]
Here α (ortho), β (meta), and γ (para) refer to the 2, 3, and 4 position, respectively. The systematic name for the pyridine derivatives is pyridinyl, wherein the position of the substituted atom is preceded by a number. However, the historical name pyridyl is encouraged by the IUPAC and used instead of the systematic name. [129]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-carboxy-lyase (3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate-forming). This enzyme is also called 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in vitamin B 6 metabolism.
2-Methylpyridine, or 2-picoline, is the compound described with formula C 6 H 7 N. 2-Picoline is a colorless liquid that has an unpleasant odor similar to pyridine. It is mainly used to make vinylpyridine and the agrichemical nitrapyrin .
3-Methylpyridine or 3-picoline, is an organic compound with formula 3-CH 3 C 5 H 4 N. It is one of three positional isomers of methylpyridine, whose structures vary according to where the methyl group is attached around the pyridine ring. This colorless liquid is a precursor to pyridine derivatives that have applications in the pharmaceutical ...
4-Pyridone exists a keto-enol tautomerism with its enol tautomer 4-hydroxypyridine. In solution, the keto tautomer is favoured, [4] and the enol tautomer only becomes important in very dilute solutions or solutions of non-polar solvents. However, the enol tautomer is dominant in the gas phase. [5]
5-Ethyl-2-methylpyridine is an organic compound with the formula (C 2 H 5)(CH 3)C 5 H 3 N. One of several isomeric pyridines with this formula, this derivative is of interest because it is efficiently prepared from simple reagents and it is a convenient precursor to nicotinic acid , a form of vitamin B 3 .
