• Description: 2,6-Bis(bromomethyl)pyridine (BMP) is a pyridine derivative that is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. It has been shown to be an effective catalyst for the conversion of picolinic acid to xanthopterin in the presence of sodium. The reactivity of BMP can be attributed to its functionalities and the metal ion that it contains. The reaction mechanism has been studied by computer modelling and molecular modelling techniques. The catalytic rate is determined by intramolecular hydrogen transfer.
