4-Methylpyridine is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 C 5 H 4 N. It is one of the three isomers of methylpyridine. This pungent liquid is a building block for the synthesis of other heterocyclic compounds. Its conjugate acid, the 4-methylpyridinium ion, has a pK a of 5.98, about 0.7 units above that of pyridine itself. [1]
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]
PhIP has been found in cooked beef, pork, chicken, and fish products. Exposure to PhIP depends on the eating habits of the individual and can vary up to 5000-fold. Exposure is also related to the type of meat, doneness, cooking method, and quantity consumed. [4] Individual exposures can differ due to various anti-carcinogens in the diet.
Isonicotinic acid or pyridine-4-carboxylic acid is an organic compound with the formula C 5 H 4 N(CO 2 H). It is a derivative of pyridine with a carboxylic acid substituent at the 4-position. It is an isomer of picolinic acid and nicotinic acid , which have the carboxyl group at the 2- and 3-position respectively compared to the 4-position for ...
3-Methylpyridine degrades more slowly than the other two isomers, likely due to the impact of resonance in the heterocyclic ring. Like most simple pyridine derivatives, the picolines contain more nitrogen than is needed for growth of microorganisms, and excess nitrogen is generally excreted to the environment as ammonium during the degradation ...

Brooker's merocyanine (1-methyl-4-[(oxocyclohexadienylidene)ethylidene]-1,4-dihydropyridine, MOED) [1] is an organic dye belonging to the class of merocyanines. MOED is notable for its solvatochromic properties, meaning it changes color depending on the solvent in which it is dissolved.
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.
