1. Pyridine structure:
2. Iupac name: Pyridine, other name: Azine & Azabenzene.
*Important commercial alkyl pyridinium compound is α - methyl- pyridine (2), βpicoline (3), γ- picoline ( 4 ) , 2,6 - lutidine ( 5 ) , 3,5 - dimethyl- pyridine ( 6 ) ethyl-2 - methyl- pyridine ( 7 ) and 2,4,6 - collidine ( 8 ) . In general, the alkyl -substituted pyridine as many other precursors used in pyridine E-commerce. From these further alkyl substituted pyridine derivatives of pyridine compounds is often used in turn as an intermediate in the manufacture of Commercially useful end product.
1.Physical properties:
1.Pyridine physical properties are stable, cyclic, 6 results - π π- electron deficient , the aromatic ring structure containing a nitrogen atom.
2.Carbon Ring atom in the ring nitrogen stronger than the negative power , thus making the two , 4 - and 6 - ring carbon atom ratio , otherwise it will be more electropositive ,From the knowledge of the chemistry of the benzene ring can be expected . Aromatic π - electron system does not lone pair of electrons involved On the nitrogen atom , so that the term alkaline and π - pyridine compounds are described for defects . Pyridine ring through the nitrogen. The reaction is typically weak , organic tertiary amines such as protons , alkylation ( see ) , and acylation.
3.Pyridine and alkyl pyridines liquid are considered a dipolar aprotic solvent like dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulfoxide. Most Pyridine- water azeotrope formation with significant , separation of pyridine by steam distillation of the mixture can be separated by simple not Separate distillation. The same effect can also be water azeotropically dried quickly by a small forecut distilled water wet pyridine Azeotrop Pyridine. Many physical properties different from those of benzene, pyridine , with its counterpart elements . For example , the boiling point of
