3-Hydroxypyridine is an organic compound with the empirical formula C 5 H 5 NO. It is isomeric to 2-pyridone and 4-pyridone , but has fundamentally different properties and reactivity.

presentation

The synthesis of 3-hydroxypyridine proceeds by reaction of furfural with ammonia . In addition, it can be obtained by reacting 3-bromopyridine under pressure in an alkali melt .

properties

In terms of its properties, 3-hydroxypyridine differs fundamentally from its isomers 2- and 4-pyridone, since it cannot form a keto form. In contrast, 3-hydroxypyridine has a zwitterionic boundary structure , the proportion of which in the chemical equilibrium depends on the solvent . Thus 3-hydroxypyridine reacts similarly to phenol and not similarly to amide . It is preferred the nitrogen protonated having a pK s value has of 5.2.

Occurrence and use

3-Hydroxypyridine is produced in low concentrations during the Maillard reaction . It can also be found as a pyridoxine structural element in vitamin B 6, for example .

It can be used to make insecticides and herbicides . It can also be used for the synthesis of certain cholinesterase inhibitors , for example pyridostigmine . It can also be reduced to 3-hydroxypiperidine .
