Structure and reactivity of 2-methyl-9-hydroxy-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one

It has been shown that the alkylation of 2-methyl-9-hydroxy-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidin-4-one takes place at the oxygen atom, but electrophilic substitution takes place mainly at position 8 of the molecule (the ortho position relative to the hydroxy group).Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1660–1666, December, 1992.     

Electrophilic reactions of 3-hydroxyisonicotinic acid

Conclusions The aminomethylation, azo-coupling, and nitration of 3-hydroxyisonicotinic acid and its ester are directed to the 2 position, whereas their iodination proceeds with the formation of the 2-iodo and 2,6-diiodo derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 452–454, February, 1977.     

PMR spectroscopic study of the kinetics of H/D exchange in methyl groups in a series of heterocyclic azines

The rate of H/D exchange among methyl group protons in a series of substituted 3-hydroxypyridines, 5-hydroxypyrimidines, and their N-oxides has been shown to increase with increasing acidity of the medium. The most reactive form of these molecules is the cationic form at pH<2. The rate of H/D exchange of CH₃ group protons in 3-hydroxypyridine derivatives has also been found to be several orders of magnitude lower than the rates of exchange for methyl-substituted 5-hydroxypyrimidine and its N-oxide. Effective rate constants for methyl group proton exchange have been estimated. In the case of methyl-substituted 5-hydroxypyrimidine N-oxide derivatives it has been established that the rate of proton exchange is greater for an ortho-methyl group than for a methyl group in the para-position relative to the N-oxide site.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 93–96, January, 1991.     

Intramolecular hydrogen bond in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines

To explain the character of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines, the chemical shifts in the NMR spectra of the hydroxyl group and the IR spectra were studied. It was established that the stability of the intramolecular hydrogen bond of the O-HNR₂ type in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines increases when compared with the corresponding phenols, while an opposite pattern is observed for bonds of the O-H0₂ N type. An approximate evaluation of the energy of the intramolecular hydrogen bond in substituted 3-hydroxypyridines was achieved. When reacting with bases of the same strength, 3-hydroxypyridine forms more stable complexes than phenol.     

Synthesis of 4H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c][1,2,5]thyadiazol-4-one and its reactions with some nucleophilic and electrophilic agents

The reaction of 3,4-diaminocoumarin with thionyl chloride gave 4H-[1]benzopyrano[3,4-c][1,2,5]thiadiazol-4-one (II), which was cleaved by the action of nucleophilic agents to the corresponding 4-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole-3-carboxylic acid derivatives. The nitration of II leads to the 8-nitro or 6,8-dinitro derivative; the latter was isolated in the form of 4-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrophenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole-3-carboxylic acid.See [3] for our preliminary communication.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 977–981, July, 1988.     

Investigation of the halogenation of 5-benyl-3-hydroxypyridine

The halogenation of 5-benzyl-3-hydroxypyridine proceeds with the formation of 2,6-dihalo-substituted compounds. The presence of a benzyl group in the 5 position activates the 6 position of the -pyridol ring with respect to electrophilic attack.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 958–960, July, 1974.
