Pyridine aldehydes can also be lithiated at C-3, provided that the aldehyde functionality is first converted to its a-aminoalkoxide derivative by reaction with the lithium salt of an amine (90JOC69). In a study with... 

Tertiary benzylic nitriles are useful synthetic intermediates, and have been used for the preparation of amidines, lactones, primary amines, pyridines, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and esters. The general synthetic pathway to this class of compounds relies on the displacement of an activated benzylic alcohol or benzylic halide with a cyanide source followed by double alkylation under basic conditions. For instance, 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropionitrile has been prepared by methylation of (2-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile using sodium amide and iodomethane. In the course of the preparation of a drug candidate, the submitters discovered that the nucleophilic aromatic substitution of aryl fluorides with the anion of a secondary nitrile is an effective method for the preparation of these compounds. The reaction was studied using isobutyronitrile and 2-fluoroanisole. The submitters first showed that KHMDS was the superior base for the process when carried out in either THF or toluene (Table I). For example, they found that the preparation of 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropionitrile could be accomplished h... 

Very recently the isolation of still active carbonic anhydrase from the biocrystalline layer of hens egg shells has been reported. Crude egg shell extracts exhibited no enzyme activity. however, after removal of Ca2+ and simple gel filtration of the extracts, carbonic anhydrase activity could be measured. Further purification steps led to the isolation of two isoenzymes. The possibility of inhibition of this enzyme activity by shell components cannot be excluded although recombination of shell components after separation did not inhibit that enzyme. The isolated enzymes has an apparent molecular size of 28,000 daltons. Carbonic anhydrase from egg shells catalyzes the reversible hydration of CO2 + HOH H+ + HCO3-. This probably is the primary action of the enzyme of the shell. Moreover, egg shell carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the hydration of acetaldehyde and pyridine aldehyde. Furthermore, the same enzymes have esterase activity (hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate). Whether the latter activities play a role in the egg shell cannot be judget at the present time. 

Of the pyridine aldehydes, only Schiff s bases (192) from 3-formyl-pyridine and anilines such as p-chloroaniline, which with the stilbazole 190 forms l,4-bis[/3-(3-pyridyl)vinyl]benzene (193), have been found to undergo the Anil Synthesis.34...

Antecedent dehydration reactions can be complicated by acid-base reactions, for different protonated forms show different rates of dehydration. In all the systems studied so far — pyridine aldehydes (77, 78—80) quinazoline 81, 82) and glyoxalic acid (83) — either the dehydration of the conjugate base is faster than that of the conjugate acid, or the conjugate base is less hydrated. This is shown by the increase of current at pH > 2 in Fig. 22. The increase of current in acidic media corresponds... 

Other examples of the application of calculations of spin-spin coupling constants by means of the PCM/DFT model for chemical problems using the IEF-PCM approach are studies of the spin-spin coupling constants in the keto and enol forms of monosubstituted 2-OH-pyridines [83], of the anomeric effect on the 27HH and 37HH coupling constants in 2-methylthiirane and 2-methyloxirane [83], and of the conformation of pyridine aldehyde derivaties [84], In these studies, PCM has been used to obtain a more realistic... 

For instance, 4-aminopyridine 5.34 can be converted to amide 5.35 which, on treatment with two equivalents of butyl lithium, gives organometallic species 5.36. Formylation of the more reactive anion (the carbanion) then reprotonation of the amide anion gives 5.37. Acidic hydrolysis removes the activating group to release pyridine aldehyde 5.38. 

For the latter CNS receptor ligands, different types of chelators have been introduced to the basic receptor binding framework. Originally a bidentate Schiff base was introduced by the reaction of an aliphatic amine with pyridine-aldehyde. Labelling occurred at low concentration and the radio conjugate was physiologically stable. Although receptor affinity was fully retained, brain uptake was low [67]. ACp was introduced at the same position and, as described earlier, and receptor affinity was perfectly retained. No brain uptake data are...
