The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(7)H(6)O(4)·C(5)H(5)N, consists of one 3,4-dihy-droxy-benzoic acid and one pyridine mol-ecule, both located on general positions. The 3,4-dihy-droxy-benzoic acid mol-ecules are arranged in layers and are connected by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming channels along the a axis in which the pyridine mol-ecules are located. The pyridine and...

Spectrophotometrical analysis of pyridine nucleotide transglycosidase in mammalian tissues indicated that the enzyme activity was observed to be distributed ubiquitously among the mammalian tissues analyzed, although the velocity ratio of transglycosidation/hydrolysis (vT/vH) and the partitioning of nicotinic acid against water differed with the pyridine nucleotide substrate and the mammalian s...

The title mol-ecule (alternative name: pyridine-3-carbohydrazide; C(6)H(7)N(3)O) was obtained from the reaction of ethyl nicotinate with hydrazine hydrate in methanol. In the amide group, the C-N bond is relatively short, suggesting some degree of electronic delocalization in the mol-ecule. The stabilized conformation may be compared with those of isomeric compounds picolinohydrazide (pyridine-...

When a mixture of a few benzoins and a pyridine N-oxide SbC15 (1 : 1) complex (Complex A) was boiled in nitromethane, the corresponding benzils were obtained in various yields dependent upon the kinds of substituents in each reactant. The yield of benzil becames higher by adding some tertiary amines. In this reaction, tribenzylamine is a good accelerator to promote it. When Complex A, 4-picolin...

The title compound, C(15)H(17)N(3), was prepared by reaction of benzoyl-pyridine and hexahydropyrimidine. The 1,3-diazinane ring adopts a chair conformation with one N-H group axial and the other equatorial. The axial N-H group participates in very weak hydrogen bonding to the lone pair of electrons of the N atom with the equatorial H atom producing a very weakly hydrogen-bonded dimer. The pyri...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(5)H(5)ClN(2)·0.5C(4)H(4)O(4), comprises a neutral 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecule and one half of a fumaric acid mol-ecule which lies on an inversion center. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the plane formed by the fumaric acid mol-ecule is 3.22 (8)°. The 2-amino-5-chloro-pyridine mol-ecule is planar, with a maximum deviation of 0...

2-Deoxy-4-N-glycyl-6-O-(alpha-nebrosaminyl)fortamine (21) and 3-de-O-methyl-2-deoxy-4-N-glycyl-6-O-(alpha-nebrosaminyl)fortamine (27) were prepared starting from lividamine. The syntheses include four key steps, that is, transformation of 2-deoxystreptamine moiety of lividamine to 4-N,3-O-didemethyl-2-deoxyfortamine, selective 4-N-methylation of the new aminocyclitol moiety, selective attachmen...

Mangrove Streptomyces represent a rich source of novel bioactive compounds in medicinal research. A novel alkaloid, named 1-N-methyl-3-methylamino-[N-butanoic acid-3'-(9'-methyl-8'-propen-7'-one)-amide]-benzo[f][1,7]naphthyridine-2-one (1) was isolated from Streptomyces albogriseolus originating from mangrove sediments. The structure of compound 1 was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic data ...

In dimethyl 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carboxyl-ate, C18H14N4O4, (I), and diethyl 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carboxyl-ate, C20H18N4O4, (II), the dimethyl and diethyl esters of 5,6-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)pyrazine-2,3-di-carb-oxy-lic acid, the orientation of the two pyridine rings differ. In (I), pyridine ring B is inclined to pyrazine ring A by 44.8 (2)° and the pyridine and pyr...
