4- Methyl-5 nicotinic

The synthetic utility of radical cyclization was used as the key step in a four-step synthesis of the natural product (d,0-epilupinine (134b, a quinolizidine alkaloid) (75CB1043) from methyl nicotinate (146). Thus, l-(4-bromobutyl)-3-methoxycarbonyl-l,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine (140), obtained from methyl nicotinate (146), was cyclized to 141 (43%), which on reduction with LiAlH4 in THF provided 134b in 95% yield (89T5269). 

Methylation of nicotine to the pyridinium iodide with methyl iodide, followed by its conversion to the hydroxide with silver oxide in water, oxidation with potassium permanganate to the A -methyl nicotinic acid hydroxide and subsequent deprotonation with silver oxide yielded Trigollenine as colorless needles (1897CB2117). In a later publication, the formation of nicotinic acid from nicotine was described. Esterification followed by aminolysis and methylation yielded the A -methylnicotinamide... 

In two publications [36, 37] and a subsequent review [38], a closely related alternative procedure for conversion of pyridine-N-oxides into cyanopyridines was reported in 1983. This used a combination of the mild Lewis acid Me2NCOCl and trimethylsilyl cyanide 18 for the cyanation of pyridine N-oxides such as 860, affording, in CH2CI2, via 932 and 933, 2-cyanopyridine 862 in 94% yield and apparently no 4-cyanopyridine 864 [36-38] (Scheme 7.13). With 3-substituted pyridine N-oxides such as methyl nicotinate N-oxide a mixture of 40% methyl 2-cyanonico-tinate and 60% methyl 6-cyanonicotinate is obtained. 

Topical analgesics sometimes are used for mild pain or as an adjunct to systemic therapy. There are limited data to support the use of salicylate-containing rubefacients (e.g., methyl salicylate and trolamine salicylate) or other counterirritants (e.g., menthol, camphor, and methyl nicotinate) in OA.32 See Chap. 57 for more information on these products when used for musculoskeletal disorders.

The group C counterirritants methyl nicotinate and histamine dihydrochloride produce vasodilation.24 Methyl nicotinate is a nicotinic acid derivative that produces prostaglandin-mediated vasodilation.46 NSAIDs and aspirin block the production of prostaglandins and decrease methyl nicotinate-induced vasodilation. Application over a large area has been reported to cause systemic symptoms and syncope, possibly due to vasodilation and a decrease in blood pressure.47 Patients should be educated to apply only scant amounts to the affected area to avoid this effect.

The procedure given is essentially that described by Taylor and Crovetti.3 Nicotinamide-1-oxide (m.p. 275-276° dec.) has also been prepared by the alkaline hydrolysis of nicotinonitrile-1-oxide 4 and by the action of ammonium hydroxide on methyl nicotinate-l-oxide.6 The melting point of the product prepared by the latter synthesis is reported to be 282-284° dec.

Walters and Olejnik s ( H) data on methyl nicotinate transfer through hairless mouse skin. All indicate maximal activity residing with the C22 ether. Not only do the latter two studies indicate a falling off in effectiveness as the chain length is increased to and Cia but they also indicate that the oleyl (unsaturated chain) ethers are more active than their saturated analogues.
