Pyridine is a basic heterocyclic organic compound with the chemical formula C 5 H 5 N.It is structurally related to benzene, with one methine group (=CH−) replaced by a nitrogen atom (=N−).
Containing a pyridinium ion, pyridinium chloride has a pK a of approximately 5, slightly more acidic than that of typical amines.This is due to the hybridization of the nitrogen: the nitrogen is sp 2 hybridized and more electronegative than those nitrogens in ammonium cations, which are sp 3 hybridized.
It is the conjugate acid of pyridine. Many related cations are known involving substituted pyridines, e.g. picolines, lutidines, collidines. They are prepared by treating pyridine with acids. [3] As pyridine is often used as an organic base in chemical reactions, pyridinium salts are produced in many acid-base reactions.

Pyridinium chlorochromate in a vial. Pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) is a yellow-orange salt with the formula [C 5 H 5 NH] + [CrO 3 Cl] −.It is a reagent in organic synthesis used primarily for oxidation of alcohols to form carbonyls.
The addition product of methanol to 2-vinylpyridine, 2-(2-methoxyethyl)pyridine is a veterinary anthelmintic. [ 1 ] Treating 2-vinylpyridine with 4-pyridinecarbonitrile and hydrogen chloride gives 1-[2-(2-pyridyl)ethyl]-4-cyanopyridinium chloride, which then can be used to prepare dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), a widely used base catalyst.
Although pyridine is an excellent source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for certain microorganisms, introduction of a halogen moiety significantly retards degradation of the pyridine ring. With the exception of 4-chloropyridine, each of the mono- and di-substituted chloropyridines were found to be relatively resistant to microbiological ...
Picoline refers to any of three isomers of methyl pyridine (CH 3 C 5 H 4 N). They are all colorless liquids with a characteristic smell similar to that of pyridine. They are miscible with water and most organic solvents.
