2,4-Dichloro-, 4,6-dichloro-, 2,4,6-trichloroand tetrachloropyrimidine undergo nucleophilic displacements by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine to give (pyrimidine-2,4-diyl)-1,1’-bis[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] dichloride, (pyrimidine-4,6-diyl)-1,1’-bis[4-(dimethylamino)-pyridinium] dichloride, (pyrimidine-2,4,6-triyl)-1,1’,1”-tris[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] trichloride, and (5chloropyrimidine-2,4,6-...

Protonated heterocyclic amines, such as pyridinium, have been utilized as catalysts in the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. While these represent a new and exciting class of electrocatalysts, the details of the mechanism and faradaic processes occurring in solution are unclear. We report a series of cyclic voltammetry experiments involving Pt, Ag, Au, and Cu electrodes, under both ...

Quaternary pyridinium salts with chains ranging from C8 to C20 belong in the large group of cationic surfactants. In this paper, the preparation of such cationic surface active agents based on the pyridinium moiety and differing in the length of the N-alkyl chain is described. Additionally, HPLC technique was established to distinguish each prepared pyridinium analogue. This study represents un...

The photocatalytic process using semiconductors with a nanostructure is one of the technologies usedfor the destructive oxidation of organic compounds such as surfactants. In this paper, thephotocatalytic degradation of Cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC), was investigated in aqueous phaseusing various semiconductors such as titanium dioxide (Ti02), zinc oxide (ZnO), stannic oxide(Sn02). The degrad...

The cycloaddition of pyridinium ylides with alkynes was investigated under mild conditions. A series of 13 pyridinium salts was prepared by alkylation of 4-substituted pyridines. Their reactivity with propiolic ester or amide in various reaction conditions (different temperatures, solvents, added bases) was studied, and 11 indolizines, with three points of structural variation, were, thus, isol...

The role of pyridinium cations in electrochemistry has been believed known for decades, and their radical forms have been proposed as key intermediates in modern photoelectrocatalytic CO(2) reduction processes. Using first-principles density functional theory and continuum solvation models, we have calculated acidity constants for pyridinium cations and their corresponding pyridinyl radicals, a...
