2-Pyridinemethanol,5-hydroxy-

Description:

2-Pyridinemethanol, 5-hydroxy- is an organic compound characterized by its pyridine ring structure, which is a six-membered aromatic ring containing one nitrogen atom. This compound features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to the pyridine ring at the 2-position and a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 5-position, contributing to its reactivity and potential applications. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. The presence of both hydroxyl groups enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may impart hydrogen-bonding capabilities, making it useful in various chemical reactions and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, its structure suggests potential biological activity, which could be explored in pharmaceutical applications. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and toxicity. Overall, 2-Pyridinemethanol, 5-hydroxy- is a compound of interest in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol

CAS: 40222-77-3

6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol is a metabolite of the indole alkaloid, bufotenine. It has been shown to have cytotoxic activity against the human lung carcinoma cell line A549 and adipose cells, as well as antioxidant properties. 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol also has been shown to modulate the production of reactive oxygen species in cells by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. This compound can be found in neutral pH environments, such as water and soil. 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol can be synthesized from furfural or 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), which are produced through the degradation of glucose and other carbohydrates. The reaction between HMF with urea produces 6-(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-3-ol, leading to its presence in food chemistry.
