Pyridine, the parent compound of the pyridine alkaloids. Pyridine alkaloids are a class of alkaloids , nitrogen-containing chemical compounds widely found in plants, that contain a pyridine ring. Examples include nicotine and anabasine which are found in plants of the genus Nicotiana including tobacco .
Pyridine and poly(4-vinyl) pyridine have been shown to form conducting molecular wires with remarkable polyenimine structure on UV irradiation, a process which accounts for at least some of the visible light absorption by aged pyridine samples. These wires have been theoretically predicted to be both highly efficient electron donors and ...
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is an enzyme found in both plants and animals, which catalyzes the catabolism of the amino acid tyrosine. [4] Preventing the breakdown of tyrosine has three negative consequences: the excess of tyrosine stunts growth; the plant suffers oxidative damage due to lack of tocopherols (vitamin E); and ...
Their name is derived from the six-carbon, aromatic phenyl group and the three-carbon propene tail of coumaric acid, which is the central intermediate in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. From 4-coumaroyl-CoA emanates the biosynthesis of myriad natural products including lignols (precursors to lignin and lignocellulose ), flavonoids , isoflavonoids ...
2-Phenylpyridine is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 5 C 5 H 4 N (or C 11 H 9 N). It is a colourless viscous liquid. It is a colourless viscous liquid. The compound and related derivatives have attracted interest as precursors to highly fluorescent metal complexes of possible value as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs).
Piperidine is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH 2) 5 NH. This heterocyclic amine consists of a six-membered ring containing five methylene bridges (–CH 2 –) and one amine bridge (–NH–).
3,4-Methylenedioxypropiophenone, also known as 3,4-(Methylenedioxy)phenyl-1-propanone (MDP1P), is a phenylpropanoid found in some plants of the genus Piper and is an isomer of 3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl-2-propanone (MDP2P).
4-Pyrrolidinylpyridine is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 NC 5 H 4 N. The molecule consists of a pyrrodinyl group ((CH 2) 4 N-) attached via N to the 4-position of pyridine. It is a white solid. The compound has attracted interest because it (pK a = 9.58) is more basic than dimethylaminopyridine (pK a = 9.41). [1] It is a popular ...
