In the title compound, [Zn(C(5)H(7)O(2))(2)(C(5)H(5)N)], the metal atom has square-pyramidal coordination geometry with the basal plane defined by the four O atoms of the chelating acetyl-acetonate ligands and with the axial position occupied by the pyridine N atom. The crystal packing is characterized by a C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded ribbon structure approximately parallel to [10[Formula: see text]].

In the acid mol-ecule of the title complex, C(10)H(8)N(2)·C(8)H(8)O(3), the acetyl C-C-C-O torsion angle is -32.1 (3)°, and in the mol-ecule of the base, the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 23.41 (10)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the acid and the base mol-ecules into a one-dimensional triple-helix framework extended along the b axis.

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of intraventricular injections of glutamate and aspartate on the gait of animals rendered ataxic by the administration of acrylamide. Contrary to their previously reported corrective influence on ataxia induced by 3-acetyl pyridine, these amino acids did not modify the ataxic gait of acrylamide treated animals. This suggests that glutama...

The title compound, C19H19NO5, (I), is the product of a domino reaction between cotarnine chloride and acetyl-acetylene catalysed by copper(I) iodide. The mol-ecule of (I) comprises a fused tetra-cyclic system containing two terminal five-membered rings (pyrrole and 1,3-dioxole) and two central six-membered rings (di-hydro-pyridine and benzene). The five-membered 1,3-dioxole ring has an envelop...

Drug resistance causes serious difficulties in the routine therapy for curing common microbial infections. Thus it is very essential to develop new antimicrobial agents which can offer alternative treatments. The development of potent and effective utmost importance overcome emerging multidrug strains bacteria fungi. technique involves Knoevenagel reaction between substituted salicylaldehyde et...

A complete pathway for Azorhizobium caulinodans nicotinate catabolism has been determined from mutant phenotype analyses, isolation of metabolic intermediates, and structural studies. Nicotinate serves as a respiratory electron donor to O2 via a membrane-bound hydroxylase and a specific c-type cytochrome oxidase. The resulting oxidized product, 6-hydroxynicotinate, is next reduced to 1,4,5,6-te...

The title heteroaryl chalcone derivative, C(17)H(17)NO(4), is a condensation product of 2-acetyl-pyridine and 2,4,6-trimeth-oxy-benzaldehyde. The mol-ecule is roughly planar, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings being 5.51 (10)°. All the three meth-oxy groups are almost co-planar with the bound benzene ring [r.m.s. deviation of 0.0306 (2) Å]. A weak C-H⋯O intra-molecular in...

2-Arylhydrazono-3-oxobutanenitriles 2 was reacted with hydroxylamine hydrochloride to yield amidooxime 3. This was cyclized into the corresponding oxadiazole 4 on refluxing in acetic anhydride. When refluxed in DMF in presence of piperidine, the corresponding 1,2,3-triazoleamine 5 was formed. The latter was acylated to 6 by addition of acetic anhydride while treatment of 5 with malononitrile ga...

There are recorded in literature several instances in which the acylation of amino acids in the presence of pyridine proceeded abnormally. ’ We have encountered an unexpected reaction in attempting to acetylate I-tyrosine suspended in. a solution of pyridine in commercial acetic anhydride (containing 90 to 95 per cent of the pure anhydride). From the reaction product a orystalline substance, CM...
