3 -Amino-2-pyridinol, oxidation

Hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress has an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Human monocytes exposed to 2-deoxy-D-ribose exhibited loss of cell viability, overproduction of ROS, depletion of glutathione, and apoptosis. Treatment with PLP inhibited these as well as lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation (4). Pyridoxine has a very high level of quenching of hydroxyl radicals (5). Mono- and bicyclic amino pyridinols have been synthesized from pyridoxine hydrochloride and have been shown to have antioxidant properties (6). 

The formation of the pyridinol is prevented if, in the step 19 to 20, no anion can be eliminated from C-3 this is the case with 5-amino-3,5-dideoxy-l,2-0-isopropylidene-a-D-er /thro-pentofuranose, which, on acid hydrolysis, afFords only the Amadori rearrangement product and no pyridine derivative. The reaction then proceeds, according to the above mechanism, in only one direction from 19. The 3-deoxypentose is prepared, in a manner analogous to the formation of 15, from 3-deoxy-l,2-0-isopropylidene-a-D-riho-hexofuranose through catalytic reduction of the phenylhydrazone of its periodate-oxidation product. ... 

The reaction of 5-amino-5-deoxy-l,2-0-isopropylidene-a-D-xylo-furanose (15) with methanolic hydrogen chloride (0.5 %), under careful exclusion of moisture, results in a mixture of the anomers of methyl 5-amino-5-deoxy-D-xylofuranoside, from which the /8-D anomer crystallizes. The five-membered ring-structure was proved by the results of periodate oxidation and by the infrared spectrum of the tetraacetate, which shows a band for NH. A methyl pyranoside was not found, and 3-pyridinol (21) was formed only in traces. A spontaneous ring-enlargement, such as is observed under similar conditions with 1,2-O-isopropylidene-5-thio-a-D-xylofuranose (see p. 208), is not possible in this instance. Stabilization as the methyl fiiranoside is, apparently, so rapid that the secondary reaction (leading to the pyranose form) does not occur. If water (several percent) is added to the reaction mixture, glycoside formation is hindered, and a large proportion of 3-pyridinol is formed. ...

Oxidation of furfural with chlorine water or sodium hypochlorite followed by treatment of the product (see Section I.l.C,) with sulfamic acid gives 3-hydroxy-2-imino-l(2f0-pyridinesulfonic acid, which is converted to 2-amino-3-pyridinol(XI-275) on hydrolysis. ... 

Halo-4-nitropyridines and their A -oxides react at the C-nitro group when treated with bases or alkoxides to give XII-357 or MI-358 (X = Cl, Br, I). However, 3-fluoro-4-nitropyTidine and its 1-oxide form 4-nitro-3-pyridinols and 4-nitro-3-alkoxypyridines, respectivelyThe 3-alkoxy-4-nitropyridine-l-oxides have been converted to 3,4-dialkoxypyridine-l-oxides. Because of this marked reactivity of the 3-fluoro substituent, these studies have been extended to 3-fluoro-5-methyl-4-nitropyridine-l-oxide, 3-fluoro-2-methyl-4-nitropyri-dine-l-oxide, and 2,6-dimethyl-3-fluoro-4-nitropyridine-l-oxide. Several of these fluoronitropyridines have been extensively studied as potential reagents for formation of amino acid derivatives. 2-Fluoro-3,5-dinitropyridine, a typical example, is hydrolyzed by hot water and reacts with hot alcohols to form 2-alkoxy-3,5-dinitropyridines and reacts with amino acids and their derivatives to give well-defined products. The reactions of a number of fluoronitropyridines and their N-oxides have been summarized by Talik and Talik and the relative reactivities toward simple nucleophiles have been observed, as shown on p. 689. 

P3o-idine-I-oxides are comparatively resistant to reduction because of resonance stabilization by the aromatic system. Typical reagents that have been used for the formation of pyridones and pyridinols are Raney Nickel in methanol, palladium-on-charcoal, phosphorous trichloride, or phosphorus oxychloride in ethyl acetate. The N-oxides of pyridoxine, pyridoxal, and pyridoxamine have been deoxygenated catalytically. 4-Alkoxy-3-halopyri-dine-1-oxides are A-deoxygenated by phosphorous trichloride in chloroform. 2-Amino-3-pyridinol can be prepared ffom2-nitro-3-pyridinol-l-oxide (X1I450) in acetic acid by treatment with iron and mercuric chloride and then with zinc. 2-Halo-3-pyridinols can be prepared from XII-450 by treatment with phosphorous trihalides in chlorofiMm ...
