Tri methyl pyridines

Lutidines. Collidines.—The di-methyl pyridines are known as lull-dines and the tri-methyl pyridines as collidines. 

On the basis of CNDO/2 calculations on the model compounds 2.4.6-trimethyl-pyridine and 2.4.6-tri-methyl-X -phosphorin, Schweig and coworkers found that the MO sequences of pyridine and X -phosphorin do not correspond to each other. For simplicity, methyl- rather than tert-butyl groups were used in the calculations (whereas the PE and UV spectra of the tert-butyl compounds have been recorded the synthesis of the unsubstituted X -phosphorin was unknown at the... 

The trichloromethyl group in s-triazines is sufficiently reactive to he displaced by ammonia, amines, or alkoxides even if two deactivating groups have already been introduced. In contrast, under much more vigorous conditions benzotrichloride and 2,6-bis(trichloro-methyl)pyridine are unreactive towards ammonia in dimethyl-formamide (2 hr, 165°). Tris-amination of 2,4,6-tris-(trichloro-methyl)-s-triazine is complete in aprotic, but not in protic, solvents. 

Radical methylation of 3-methylimidazo[4,5-h]pyridine (106) gave in 71% yield a mixture of 2,3,5,7-tetramethylimidazo[4,5-Z>]pyridine, 2,3,7-trimethylimidazo[4,5-h]pyridine and 2,3-dimethylimidazo[4,5-6]pyridine (107) in a ratio of 1 9.3 14.7. Similar methylation of the dimethyl compound gave a 57% yield of the tetra- and tri-methyl compounds in a 1 5 ratio. l,2-Dimethylimidazo[4,5-h]pyridine (108) was methylated simultaneously in the 5-and 7-positions (109), with the 7-position being more reactive than the 5-positions (78MI41004). 

Carboxylic acids. Of these pyridine acids there are mono-, di-, and tri-carboxylic acids known, which are obtained by oxidation of the corresponding mono-, di-, and tri-methyl homologues. One of the mono-carboxylic acids is known as nicotinic acid and is obtained... 

Using surfactant chromophores, trans-bilayer electron transfer can also be observed, although in the absence of a mediator, the chromophore must be embedded in both surfaces of the bilayer structure. Thus, MV " in the bulk aqueous phase can be reduced by EDTA or sodium ascorbate in the inner water pools if they are separated by a bilayer consisting of 5,10,15-tris(l-methyl-pyridine)-4-yl-20-(4-stearoxyphenyl)porphinatozinc colyophilized with dipalmitoyl-L-phos-phatidylcholine (DPPC). l imilar results are obtained using surfactant derivatives of [Ru(bipy)3] and increased rates of formation are observed if mediators such as hexadecyl-viologen, 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (vitamin didodecyl- or dibutyl-alloxazine... 

Double Stille couplings which employ 2,6-di-(tri- -butylstannyl)pyridine (45) and two equivalents of a 5-substituted-2-bromopyridine lead efficiently to 5,5"-disubstituted tpys. Thus 5-methyl-2-bromopyridine (44) reacts with (45) to provide (46a) (Scheme 7).44...

An interesting variant on this scheme to form alkylpyridinecarboxylic acids by nitric acid oxidation has been described by Czech workers starting with 2,4- or 2,6-lutidine these bases are condensed with formaldehyde to yield unsymmetrical j3-(hydroxyethyl)methylpyridines. Nitric acid oxidation now occurs preferentially at the hydroxylated side chain yielding the corresponding methylpicolinic acids. Thus, 2,4-lutidine (X-60) is converted to a separable mixture of 4-(/3-hydroxyethyl)-2-methylpyridine (X-61), 4-[tris(hydroxy-methyl)methyl]-2-methylpyridine (X-62), and 2-( -hydtoxymethyl)4-methyl-pyridine (X-63). Nitric acid oxidation yields 2-methylpyridine-4-carboxylic acid (X-64) from X-61 and X-62, and 4-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (X-65) from X-63. A similar reaction sequence carried out with 2,6-lutidine (X-66) affords ultimately 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (X-67). 

A second enzymatic site, which has been selected as a target to direct the chelating potential of the thiosemicarbazone molecule, is pyridoxal phospho-kinase [65], This catalyst is a zinc-requiring enzyme [66] that catalyzes the phosphorylation of pyridoxine at position 5 to form the active coenzyme form. In an effort to accomplish inhibition, 2-formyl-3-hydroxy4,5-bis(hydroxy-methyl)pyridine thiosemicarbazone (117) was synthesized [65]. This was accomplished by two different procedures. The common intermediate, 3-acetoxy-2,4,5-tris(acetoxymethyl)pyridine (111) [67], upon acid hydrolysis afforded 3-hydroxy-2,4,5-tris(hydroxymethyl)pyridine hydrochloride (112), which was treated with hydrogen chloride as a suspension in acetone [68]. The amount of hydrogen chloride taken up by the suspension is a critical factor and. 

Hence for this oxidant and substrate, the sole reaction path is by initial ratedetermining dissociation/This situation parallels that reported for peroxodisulfate oxidation of the maleonitriledithiolato-cobalt(II) complex,and for peroxodiphosphate oxidation of low-spin iron(II) complexes/ Substitution processes also appear to play a small part in the complicated reaction mechanism for cerium(IV) oxidation of tris[2-pyridinal-a-methyl(methylimine)]iron(II), the low-spin iron(II) complex of the Schiff base 22, an aliphatic analog of 21/ ... 

Isomers of (4-methylimidazole)pentaamminecobalt(III) have been isolated in which the methyl group of the imidazole ligand is directed away from the five NH3 ligands [R = remote = (25)] and near the NH3 ligands [A = adjacent = (26)]. In tris or pyridine buffers two pathways are... 

The alkynylation of estrone methyl ether with the lithium, sodium and potassium derivatives of propargyl alcohol, 3-butyn-l-ol, and propargyl aldehyde diethyl acetal in pyridine and dioxane has been studied by Miller. Every combination of alkali metal and alkyne tried, but one, gives the 17a-alkylated products (65a), (65c) and (65d). The exception is alkynylation with the potassium derivative of propargyl aldehyde diethyl acetal in pyridine at room temperature, which produces a mixture of epimeric 17-(3, 3 -diethoxy-T-propynyl) derivatives. The rate of alkynylation of estrone methyl ether depends on the structure of the alkyne and proceeds in the order propar-gylaldehyde diethyl acetal > 3-butyn-l-ol > propargyl alcohol. The reactivity of the alkali metal salts is in the order potassium > sodium > lithium.
