Pyridine iodide

Methiodide formation. Place 2 drops of dry pyridine in a dry test-tube, add 4-5 drops of methanol, and 2 -3 drops of methyl iodide. 

B) Methiodi s. Members of Classes (i), (ii) and (iv) combine wdth methyl iodide (some very vigorously) to form quaternary methiodides. It is best to add the amine to an excess of methyl iodide dissolved in about twice its volume of methanol, allow any spontaneous reaction to subside, and then boil under reflux for 30 minutes (extend to 1 hour for Class (iv) except pyridine and quinoline). The methiodide may crystallise when the reaction-mixture cools if not, evaporate the latter to small bulk or to dryness, and recrystallise, (M.ps., pp. 553-554 )... 

Pyridine methiodide and ethiodide. Place 2 drops of dry pyridine in a test-tube, add 2 drops of methyl iodide and mix. A vigorous reaction occurs and on cooling, a colourless crystalline mass of pyridine methiodide, CjHjN.Mel, is formed cf. p. 377) when recrystallised from methylated spirit, the methiodide has m.p. 117. ... 

Alkylselenazoles are oily alkaline liquids possessing a smell similar to that of the corresponding thiazole or pyridine derivatives. The crystalline picrates or 3-methylselenazolium iodides have been used for the purpose of characterization. Alkyl derivatives are partially soluble in water aryl derivatives are insoluble. 

In all its reactions the lone pair of thiazole is less reactive than that of pyridine. Table 1-61 shows three sets of physicochemical data that illustrate this difference. These are (1) the thermodynamic basicity, which is three orders of magnitude lower for thiazole than for pyridine (2) the enthalpy of reaction with BF3 in nitrobenzene solution, which is 10% lower for thiazole than for pyridine and (3) the specific rate of quaterni-zation by methyl iodide in acetone at 40°C, which is about 50% lower for... 

Various halogenating agents have been used to replace hydroxyl with chlorine or bromine. Phosphoms trihaUdes, especially in the presence of pyridine, are particularly suitable (17,18). Propargyl iodide is easily prepared from propargyl bromide by halogen exchange (19). 

Iron(III) iodide [15600-49-4], Fefy, is prepared by the oxidative photodecarbonylation of diiodotetracarbonylkon(II) ki the presence of dkodine (7). The black soHd obtained is extremely hygroscopic, spariagly soluble only ki dichloromethane, and decomposes to kon(II) iodide and dkodine when exposed to donor solvents such as tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, water, or pyridine. It also decomposes when exposed to light. 

The reaction of 1-aminopyridinium iodide (429) with dimethyl chlorofumarate in ethanol/K2C03 to form, ultimately, a pyrazolo[l,5-n]pyridine also occurs via a 1,5-dipolar mechanism. The initially formed 1 1 adduct (430), stabilized by delocalization of the negative charge, underwent disrotatory ring closure as shown to give (431) in which the 3... 

The reactions were run with methyl iodide in DMSO at 25 °C. Logfor pyridine-2-carbonitrile is also equal to 0. In order to combine two sets of results, the author assumes that the p value for each reaction is the same.

The 3-pyridylcarboxamide, prepared from the anhydride (Pyr, 99% yield), is cleaved (55-86% yield) by basic hydrolysis (0.5 M NaOH, rt) after quatemization of the pyridine nitrogen with methyl iodide. ...

Berg et al. defined a different ortho steric constant. The model reaction is the quatemization of substituted pyridines with methyl iodide in acetonitrile solution. 

Z values are obtained from Eq. (8-76) for solvents having Z in the approximate range 63-86. In more polar solvents the CT band is obscured by the pyridinium ion ring absorption, and in nonpolar solvents l-ethyl-4-carbomethoxy-pyridinium iodide is insoluble. By using the more soluble pyridine-1-oxide as a secondary standard and obtaining an empirical equation between Z and the transition energy for pyridine-1-oxide, it is possible to measure the Z values of nonpolar solvents. The value for water must be estimated indirectly from correlations with other quantities. Table 8-15 gives Z values for numerous solvents. 

Reaction of lithiated allene with methoxymethyl isothiocyanate afforded 107, after trapping with methyl iodide. The newly formed 107 isomerizes under mild conditions to triene 108. This compound is ideally setup to experience an electrocyclization to dihydropyridine 109. Heating in the presence of acid facilitates aromatization of 109 to pyridines 110. 

Cyclic hydroxamic acids and V-hydroxyimides are sufficiently acidic to be (9-methylated with diazomethane, although caution is necessary because complex secondary reactions may occur. N-Hydroxyisatin (105) reacted with diazomethane in acetone to give the products of ring expansion and further methylation (131, R = H or CH3). The benzalphthalimidine system (132) could not be methylated satisfactorily with diazomethane, but the V-methoxy compound was readil3 obtained by alkylation with methyl iodide and potassium carbonate in acetone. In the pyridine series, 1-benzyl-oxy and l-allyloxy-2-pyridones were formed by thermal isomeriza-tion of the corresponding 2-alkyloxypyridine V-oxides at 100°. 

The most thoroughly investigated compounds are the alkyl-pyridines. Coleman and Fuoss compared the reactions of pyridine, 4-picoline, and 4-isopropylpyridine with n-butyl bromide and found a steady increase in the rate in the order given the activation energies are 16.0,15.95, and 15.6 kcal per mole, respectively. Brown and Cahn carried out a detailed study of the reactions of 2-, 3-, and 4-alkyl-pyridines with methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl iodides in nitrobenzene the results are given in Table II. These data show the higher activation...
