Weglinski, Zbigniew; Talik, Tadeusz published the artcile< Carboxylation of 2-hydroxypicolines>, Safety of 2-Amino-3-nitro-6-picoline, the main research area is carboxylation hydroxypicoline; pyridinol methyl carboxylation; picoline hydroxy carboxylation; pyridinecarboxylic acid hydroxymethyl.
Treatment of a mixture of 2-hydroxy-3-methylpyridine (I) and anhydrous K2CO3 with 55 atm CO2 at 220° for 9 h gave 87% 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-pyridinecarboxylic acid (II). Carboxylation of the Na and K salts of I gave 49.5 and 53% II, resp. Similarly, 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-, and 2-hydroxy-4-methylpyridine gave 2-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid, and 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-5-pyridinecarboxylic acid, resp. The isomeric hydroxymethylpyridinecarboxylic acids were also prepared by hydrolysis of the corresponding isomeric chlorocyanopicolines. The latter were obtained from isomeric aminopicolines by successive nitration, hydroxylation, chlorination, reduction, and Sandmeyer cyanation.
Roczniki Chemii published new progress about Carboxylation. 21901-29-1 belongs to class pyridine-derivatives, and the molecular formula is C6H7N3O2, Safety of 2-Amino-3-nitro-6-picoline.
