Complexes of 4- and 5-bromo derivatives of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine with copper(II) and cobalt(II) salts: Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures was written by Hubrich, Michael;Peukert, Max;Seichter, Wilhelm;Weber, Edwin. And the article was included in Polyhedron in 2010.Quality Control of (4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol This article mentions the following:
Four copper(II) complexes (1–4) and a cobalt(II) complex (5) derived from 4-bromo-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (L1) or 5-bromo-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine (L2) with Cu(NO3)2·3H2O, CuCl2·2H2O and CoCl2·6H2O have been synthesized and their resp. crystal structures studied. They show specific influences owing to the different kind of metal cations and counter anions, the hydration as well as the different position of the bromine substitution on both the coordination of the complex unit and the network structure of the crystal lattice. The Cu(II) complexes of L1 are five-coordinate [Cu(L1)2NO3]NO3·H2O (1) and [Cu(L1)2Cl]Cl·H2O (2) species with distorted quadratic pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal coordination geometries of the N2O3 and N2O2Cl donor atoms around the Cu(II), resp. The Cu(II) complexes of L2 are six-coordinate [Cu(L2)2(NO3)2] (3) and [Cu(L2)2Cl(H2O)]Cl·H2O (4) species with distorted octahedral coordination geometries of the N4O2 and N2O3Cl donor atoms. A distorted octahedral coordination geometry of the N2O2Cl2 donor atoms is also found in the complex unit [Co(L2)2Cl2] of the Co(II) complex 5 but showing the oxygen atoms of the chelating ligand as well as the chloride ions in a cis-position. Depending on the complex, water mols. and chloride anions are shown to act as stabilizing components of the crystal structure. The comparative structural investigation includes also known structures of the bromine-free ligand analog 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine, illustrating the basic implication of the bromine substitution, mostly perceptible in the different modes of crystal packing. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol (cas: 131747-45-0Quality Control of (4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol).
(4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol (cas: 131747-45-0) belongs to pyridine derivatives. In contrast to benzene, Pyridine’s electron density is not evenly distributed over the ring, reflecting the negative inductive effect of the nitrogen atom. One of the examples of pyridines is the well-known alkaloid lithoprimidine, which is an A3 adenosine receptor antagonist and N,N-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) analog, commonly used in organic synthesis.Quality Control of (4-Bromopyridin-2-yl)methanol
