3-HYDROXY-2-METHYL-4(1H)-PYRIDINONE

Description:
3-Hydroxy-2-methyl-4(1H)-pyridinone, also known as a chelating agent, is characterized by its ability to form stable complexes with metal ions, particularly iron. This compound features a pyridine ring with hydroxyl and methyl substituents, contributing to its solubility and reactivity. It typically appears as a crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its chelating properties, allowing it to effectively bind to metal ions, which is particularly useful in various applications, including pharmaceuticals and analytical chemistry. Additionally, this compound has been studied for its potential role in treating conditions related to iron overload, such as hemochromatosis. Its molecular structure allows for tautomerism, which can influence its chemical behavior and interactions. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered to have low toxicity, appropriate handling and safety measures should be observed in laboratory settings. Overall, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4(1H)-pyridinone is a versatile compound with significant implications in both industrial and medical fields.
