Overview | Pyridine (molecular formula C6H5N) contains a six-membered heterocyclic compound with a nitrogen heteroatom, that is, one of the benzene molecules-CH = is replaced by nitrogen The resulting compound is similar to benzene, has the same electronic structure, and is still aromatic, so it is also called nitrogen benzene and nitrogen benzene, at normal temperature, it is a colorless liquid with special smell, with a melting point of -41.6 ℃ and a boiling point of 115.2 ℃, forming an azeotropic mixture with water, with a boiling point of 92~93 ℃. (This property is used in industry to purify pyridine) with a density of 0.9819g/cm3. Easily soluble in water, ethanol, ether and other organic solvents, it can also be used as a solvent. Pyridine was initially separated from bone tar, and then it was found that coal tar, gas, shale oil, and petroleum also contained pyridine and its homologs, such as 2-methylpyridine and 2,6-dimethylpyridine. Pyridine and its derivatives are more stable than benzene, and their reactivity is similar to nitrobenzene. Due to the electron withdrawing effect of the nitrogen atom in the ring, the electron density at the 2,4, and 6 positions is lower than the 3,5 positions. The typical aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction occurs at the 3,5 positions, but the reactivity is higher than Benzene is low, and nitrification, halogenation, sulfonation and other reactions are generally not easy to occur. In addition, these substitution reactions are carried out in an acidic medium, and pyridine forms positively charged ions, making electrophiles difficult to access. The halogen of 2-or 4-halopyridine is active. Due to the low electron density at positions 2 and 6, nucleophilic substitution reactions can occur at this position, such as reaction with sodium amide or potassium hydroxide to obtain the corresponding 2-aminopyridine or 2-hydroxypyridine. |
Structure | Pyridine is a typical electron-deficient aromatic heterocyclic compound. The pyridine ring is a planar ring with a closed conjugated system in the molecule. Since the electronegativity of the N atom is greater than that of the C atom, the density of the electron cloud on the pyridine ring is less than that of benzene; in addition, the density of the electron cloud around the nitrogen atom is high, while the density of the electron cloud in other parts of the ring is reduced, especially at the adjacent and para positions. Significant, so the aromaticity of pyridine is worse than benzene. In addition, the nitrogen atom in the pyridine molecule has a pair of unshared electron pairs that do not participate in the π system, so pyridine has a certain nucleophilic ability and can attack positively charged molecules. Pyridine is an important organic base. In the pyridine molecule, the role of the nitrogen atom is similar to the nitro group of nitrobenzene, so that the density of the electron cloud at the ortho and para positions is lower than that of the benzene ring, and the meta position is similar to the benzene ring. In this way, the electron cloud density of the carbon atom on the ring is far less than that of benzene, so the aromatic heterocyclic ring such as pyridine is also called "π-deficient" heterocyclic ring. This type of heterocycle is chemically difficult to be electrophilic and easy to be nucleophilic; difficult to oxidize and easy to reduce. |
purification and water removal methods | analytically pure pyridine contains a small amount of water and can be used for general experiments. If you want to produce anhydrous pyridine, you can reflux the pyridine with granular potassium hydroxide (sodium), and then isolate the moisture and steam it out for later use. Dry pyridine has strong water absorption, and the container mouth should be sealed with paraffin wax during storage. |
Source and synthesis method | Pyridine can be extracted from coking gas and tar. The coking gas is passed through sulfuric acid to absorb nitrogen-containing alkaline substances such as ammonia and pyridine, and the ammonium sulfate salt solution produced by the treatment of ammonia gas is separated into free nitrogen-containing organic alkalis, and then distilled to obtain pyridine A mixture of its alkyl substituents. It can also be made from acetaldehyde and ammonia. Pyridine and its derivatives can be synthesized by a variety of methods. Among them, the most widely used is the Hanchi pyridine synthesis method, which uses two molecules of β-carbonyl compounds, such as ethyl acetoacetate and one molecule of acetaldehyde, and the product is condensed with one molecule of ethyl acetoacetate and ammonia to form Dihydropyridine compounds are then dehydrogenated with oxidants (such as nitrous acid), and then hydrolyzed to lose carboxylation to obtain pyridine derivatives. Pyridine can also be prepared by catalysts at 500°C with acetylene, ammonia and methanol. |
uses | pyridine, as one of the important nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, has been widely used in fields including photocatalysis and photoelectric devices. In medicinal chemistry, pyridine is also commonly used as the mother core structure of drugs. At present, the deuteration reaction of pyridine mainly uses metal catalysts such as Pd, Rh, Ir, Ru and Ni to carry out hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) at the α-position, while HIE at other positions is rarely involved. Among the many derivatives of pyridine, some are important drugs, and some are important components of vitamins or enzymes. For example, the amide of pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (I. e. nicotinamide) forms an important dinucleotide with adenine (see purine), ribose and phosphoric acid in Coenzyme I. Isoniazid, a derivative of pyridine, is an oral anti-tuberculosis drug. 2-Methyl-5-vinylpyridine is an important raw material for synthetic rubber. In addition to being used as a solvent, pyridine can also be used as a denaturing agent, dye aid, and the starting material for the synthesis of a series of products, including drugs, disinfectants, dyes, food seasonings, adhesives, explosives, etc. used as organic solvent, analytical reagent, also used in organic synthesis industry, chromatography analysis, etc. used as raw material for extraction and separation of pyridine and its homologs GB 2760-1996 regulations are allowed to use edible spices. Pyridine is a raw material for herbicides, pesticides, medicines, rubber auxiliaries, and textile auxiliaries. It is mainly used as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry, as a solvent and alcohol denaturing agent, and also used in the production of rubber, paint, resin and corrosion inhibitors. It is used to make vitamins, sulfonamides, Insecticides and plastics, etc. It can be used as a solvent.

Demand analysis in pesticides | In the field of agrochemical, a chemical structure can be seen almost everywhere, which is pyridine. From the structural point of view, pyridine is a six-membered heterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen heteroatom. In application, pyridine can be said to be an important intermediate of "sweeping" three drugs (pesticides, medicines, and veterinary drugs). It not only has a large market demand, but also has an extremely important role in promoting the green development of agrochemical and other industries. As the fourth generation of new pesticides in the world, pyridine pesticides have obvious advantages. Pyridine ring pesticides are not only high-efficiency, low-toxicity, and long-term, but also have good environmental compatibility with humans and organisms, which meets the development requirements and trends of pesticides. There are many kinds of pyridine special fine chemicals, among which chloropyridine is a high value-added product with great development potential. Among them, chlorpyrifos, a pesticide with huge market capacity, is an important intermediate in the production and manufacturing process of chloropyridine chemicals -2,3,5,6-tetrachloropyridine. The first-generation star product of neonicotinoid insecticides-an important intermediate of imidacloprid, is also a chloropyridine product 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine. In the field of herbicides, chloropyridine can be seen everywhere. For example, the world's third largest killing herbicide after glyphosate and paraquat-diquat. The important intermediate of this kind of herbicide is the chloropyridine product 2-chloropyridine. The role of chloropyridine is far from limited to industry, and it can be seen everywhere in the field of daily use and medicine. Chloropyridine can be used to produce fungicide ZPT. This product is widely used in shampoo, including Haifei silk, Piao Rou and other familiar brands. In the field of medicine, chloropyridine is an important intermediate of antihistamine drugs such as feniramine, central excitant drug Ritalin, trazodone and antiarrhythmic drug imepiramide. |

production method | pyridine was previously extracted from coal tar. coke oven gas was washed with sulfuric acid and neutralized with ammonia to obtain crude light pyridine, and then purified by rectification. With the expansion of the use of pyridine, synthetic pyridine has developed greatly. Pyridine and pyridyl compounds obtained from coal tar abroad have accounted for 10%. The mixture of acetaldehyde (1.648mol), 37% formaldehyde (1.665mol) and ammonia (3.096mol) was reacted at 432 ℃. The catalyst was SiO2-Al2O3-Bi2O3 and the yield of pyridine was 48.4%. At the same time, β-methylpyridine is also generated, and the yield of pyridine, methylpyridine and methylpyridine can be adjusted by changing the operating conditions. In addition, 1, 5-pentanediamine hydrochloride can also be prepared by dehydrogenation in the presence of Pt catalyst after heating and cycliding. using the mother liquor of saturator during high-temperature coking as raw material, crude pyridine is recovered and processed, aqueous pyridine is obtained by heating and slag removal, and pure benzene is constant boiling dehydration. Anhydrous pyridine is obtained, and then 110~120 ℃ fraction is distilled by distillation, and finally obtained by rectification. |
