When a mixture of a few benzoins and a pyridine N-oxide SbC15 (1 : 1) complex (Complex A) was boiled in nitromethane, the corresponding benzils were obtained in various yields dependent upon the kinds of substituents in each reactant. The yield of benzil becames higher by adding some tertiary amines. In this reaction, tribenzylamine is a good accelerator to promote it. When Complex A, 4-picolin...

The title compound, C(15)H(17)N(3), was prepared by reaction of benzoyl-pyridine and hexahydropyrimidine. The 1,3-diazinane ring adopts a chair conformation with one N-H group axial and the other equatorial. The axial N-H group participates in very weak hydrogen bonding to the lone pair of electrons of the N atom with the equatorial H atom producing a very weakly hydrogen-bonded dimer. The pyri...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(5)H(5)ClN(2)·0.5C(4)H(4)O(4), comprises a neutral 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecule and one half of a fumaric acid mol-ecule which lies on an inversion center. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the plane formed by the fumaric acid mol-ecule is 3.22 (8)°. The 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecule is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0...

In dimethyl 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carboxyl-ate, C18H14N4O4, (I), and diethyl 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carboxyl-ate, C20H18N4O4, (II), the dimethyl and diethyl esters of 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carb-oxy-lic acid, the orientation of the two pyridine rings differ. In (I), pyridine ring B is inclined to pyrazine ring A by 44.8 (2)° and the pyridine and pyr...

Based on prior work, we hypothesized that cigarette smoke contains chemicals that can inhibit growth of the chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). In this study, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry were used to identify 12 pyridine derivatives in the inhibitory fractions of smoke eluted from solid phase extraction cartridges. These pyridine derivatives were further studied individually in d...

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP; vitamin B(6))-catalyzed reactions have been well studied, both on enzymes and in solution, due to the variety of important reactions this cofactor catalyzes in nitrogen metabolism. Three functional groups are central to PLP catalysis: the C4' aldehyde, the O3' phenol, and the N1 pyridine nitrogen. In the literature, the pyridine nitrogen has traditionally been assum...

In the title complex, [Cu(C13H11N2O)Cl(C6H8N2)], the Cu(II) atom adopts a distorted tetra-hedral geometry being coordinated by the phenolic O atom and the azomethine N atom of the Schiff base ligand N-salicyl-idene 2-amino-pyridine, and by the 2-amino-pyridine N atom and a Cl atom. The pyridyl N atom of the Schiff base and the imino N atom of the 4-methyl-pyridine-2-yl-imino ligand are not invo...

Lead tetra acetate (Pb(IV) or LTA) oxidation of the esters X —C,,H4—C H(OH ) — COO CH, (X = H, m-NO: , p-N O : , /?;-Cl. /?-Cl. p-Br. p-CH, and p-C:H s) gives corresponding keto esters. The reaction is first order in [Pb(IV)] and second order in [Ester], and is catalysed by pyridine and 2,6-lutidine. The pyridine catalysed reaction is first order each in [Pb(IV)]. [Ester] and [Pyridine]. A kine...

There are two crystallographically independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(22)H(17)BrN(6). The dihedral angles between the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine mean plane and the phenyl rings are 20.4 (2) and 24.0 (2)° in the two mol-ecules. The orientation of triazoles compared to the imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine system is almost the same in both mol-ecules, with dihedral angles of ...

There are two independent La(III) cations in the polymeric title compound, {[La(2)(C(7)H(3)NO(4))(3)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O}(n). One is nine-coordinated in an LaN(2)O(7) tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry formed by three pyridine-2,6-dicarboxyl-ate anions and two water mol-ecules, while the other is ten-coordinated in an LaNO(9) bicapped square-anti-prismatic geometry formed by four pyridine-2,6-...
