Introduction | 4-pyridyl methanol is also known as: pyridine-4-methanol, ω-hydroxy-4-piecoline, 4-(Hydroxymethyl)pyridine,4-Pyridinemethanol, 4-pyridyl carbinol, n-hydroxy-4-picoline, in recent years, 4-pyridylmethanol has been widely used as an intermediate of pesticide and medicine. 4-pyridyl methanol can be used for the preparation of 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde. |
Application | as an important pharmaceutical intermediate and fine chemical raw material, 4-pyridyl methanol has a wide range of applications and a broad market. In medicine, as an important pharmaceutical intermediate, 4-pyridine methanol can be used for the synthesis of exchange transfusion to Bisacodyl, is also the raw material for the synthesis of organic phosphate antidotes pralidoxime. In agriculture, 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde is an essential intermediate for the synthesis of some acaricides; In the photosensitive industry, 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde can be used for the synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic color photographic materials. |
preparation | (a) the 4-methylpyridine reacts with glacial acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide at 70 ℃, the reaction time is 14h, and the molar ratio of 4-methylpyridine, glacial acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide is 1:3.5:3 to obtain 4-pyridinium nitrogen oxide; (B) the 4-pyridine nitrogen oxide reacts with acetic anhydride, the reaction temperature is 85 ℃, the reaction time is 6h, the molar ratio of the 4-pyridine nitrogen oxide to acetic anhydride is 1:2.5, 4-pyridine methyl acetate was obtained;(c) the reaction of 4-pyridine methyl acetate with potassium hydroxide solution, the reaction time is 4H, the molar ratio of the 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid methyl ester to potassium hydroxide was 1:1.5, and the reaction gave 4-pyridylmethanol. |
