Product Information

• Name: 4,4'-Dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,4'-Dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine is a metallo-organic compound that can be used as a homogeneous catalyst for the oxidation of hydroxyl groups. It is also used in cancer research because it has been shown to inhibit tumor cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. 4,4'-Dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine is an activated form of 2,2'-bipyridyl with a hydroxyl group on its ortho position. It can be prepared by reacting bromine with the metal salt of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide. This reaction produces two products: 4,4'-dihydroxy-2,2'-bipyridine and 2-bromoethanol. The deuterium isotope is used for nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies because it has a spin quantum number of one and does not cause chemical shift
