Pyridin-4-ylacetic acid is a n-oxide with an amide group that inhibits the activity of aromatase. It also has reactive properties and can form hydrogen bonds with metal hydroxides. Pyridin-4-ylacetic acid is a zwitterion and acts as a carbonyl group in the presence of chloride. This molecule can be synthesized by reacting 4-chloroacetanilide with pyridine, which forms the required carbanion intermediate. Pyridin-4-ylacetic acid was modeled using molecular modeling software to determine its potential use as a fluorescence probe for chloride ions, which are essential for many biological processes.
