Air & Water Reactions

Highly Flammable. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

3-Picoline may react with oxidizing materials . Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides.

Health Hazard

Health Hazard

Clinical signs of intoxication caused by alkyl derivatives of pyridine including weight loss, diarrhea, weakness, ataxia and unconsciousness (RTECS 1988). Poisoning in a 32 year old male exposed to industrial vapors was characterized by unique autonomic disturbances against asthenic background (angiodystonia, tendency toward hypotonia and bradycardia, increase of pilomotor reflex, and disturbances of thermoregulation) and by polyneuritic phenomena (Budanova 1973).A 58-year old man occupationally exposed to 3-methylpyridine for 11 years showed an increase in liver glutamic pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (Caballeria et al 1979).

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. Forms explosive mixtures in air. Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Safety Profile

Poison by intravenous and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by ingestion. Flammable when exposed to heat or flame; can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.

Synthesis

In a vapor-phase reaction over a nickel- containing catalyst in the presence of hydrogen, 2-methylglutaronitrile gives 3-methylpiperidine, which then undergoes dehydrogenation over palladium – alumina to give 3-methylpyridine:A one-step gas-phase reaction over a palladium- containing catalyst is reported to give 3-methylpyridine in 50 % yield.

Potential Exposure

(o-isomer); Suspected reprotoxic hazard, Primary irritant (w/o allergic reaction), (m-isomer): Possible risk of forming tumors, Primary irritant (w/o allergic reaction). Picolines are used as intermediates in pharmaceutical manufacture, pesticide manufacture; and in the manufacture of dyes and rubber chemicals. It is also used as a solvent.

Carcinogenicity

No reliable studies in mammals to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of any of the three methylpyridines were found. None of the methylpyridines is listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or ACGIH.

Metabolism

Methylpyridines can be absorbed by inhalation, ingestion and skin contact (Parmeggiana 1983). The percentage uptake of 3-methylpyridine by rats increased with dosage; elimination occurred in 2 phases, the duration of which also was dose dependent (Zharikov and Titov 1982). Addition of a methyl group to pyridine greatly increased the rate of uptake into liver, kidney and brain of rats (Zharikov et al 1983). The position of the methyl group drastically influenced the pharmacokinetics of the methylpyridines, with 3-methylpyridine exhibiting the longest biological halflife. N-Oxidation is a minor route for 3-methylpyridine biotransformation with 6.6, 4.2, and 0.7% biotransformation of the dose, respectively, being excreted in the urine of mice, rats and guinea pigs receiving i.p. doses of the chemical (Gorrod and Damani 1980). Urinary excretion of 3-methylpyridine N-oxide was increased following pretreatment of mice with phenobarbital but 3-methylcholanthrene had no appreciable effect on N-oxide elimination (Gorrod and Damani 1979a, 1979b). The structure of 3-methylpyridine N-oxide has been verified by mass spectrometry (Cowan et al 1978).

Purification Methods

In general, the same methods of purification that are described for 2-methylpyridine can be used. However, 3-methylpyridine often contains 4-methylpyridine and 2,6-lutidine, neither of which can be removed satisfactorily by drying and fractionation, or by using the ZnCl2 complex. Biddiscombe and Handley [J Chem Soc 1957 1954], after steam distillation as for 2-methylpyridine, treated the residue with urea to remove 2,6-lutidine, then azeotropically distilled with acetic acid (the azeotrope had b 114.5o/712mm), and recovered the base by adding excess of aqueous 30% NaOH, drying with solid NaOH and carefully fractionally distilling. The distillate is then fractionally crystallised by slow partial freezing. An alternative treatment [Reithoff et al. Ind Eng Chem (Anal Edn) 18 458 1946] is to reflux the crude base (500mL) for 20-24hours with a mixture of acetic anhydride (125g) and phthalic anhydride (125g) followed by distillation until phthalic anhydride begins to pass over. The distillate is treated with NaOH (250g in 1.5L of water) and then steam distilled. Addition of solid NaOH (250g) to this distillate (ca 2L) led to the separation of 3-methylpyridine which is removed, dried (K2CO3, then BaO) and fractionally distilled. (Subsequent fractional freezing would probably be advantageous.) The hydrochloride has m 85o, and the picrate has m 153o(from Me2CO, EtOH or H2O). [Beilstein 20 III/IV 2710, 20/5 V 506.]

Incompatibilities

Vapors may form explosive mixture with air. Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Attacks copper and its alloys.

The first SiHi22+ Complex, Difaydridotetrakis(3-picoline)silicon Dichloride-tetrakis (chloroform)5 [H2Si(3pic)44]Cl2 · CHCl3: Formation chemical equilibria, and structural by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction

Fleischer, Holger,Hensen, Karl,Stumpf, Thorsten

, p. 765 - 771 (1996)

Bis(dichlorosilyl)amine reacts in chloroform solution with 2-picoline to give H3SiCl, H2SiCl2, and HSiCl3 whereas with 3-picoline the two hypervalent silicon compounds H2SiCl2-(3pic)2 and [H2Si(3pic)4]Cl2 ·4 CHCl3 containing hexacoordinated Si atoms are formed. These complexes are in a chemical equilibrium with each other in chloroform solution, from which crystals of [H2Si(3pic)4]Cl2 ·4 CHCl3 could be isolated. The crystal structure of the latter was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex can be regarded as an "contact ion trio" of [H2Si(3pic)4]2+ and two Cl- ions. The N→Si bond lengths, r(Si-N) = 196.9(3} and 197.5(3) pm, are similar to those found in neutral hexacoordinated Si complexes. The data obtained from a 1H1H ROESY experiment suggest that dissolution has no significant impact on the molecular structure of [H2Si(3pic)4]Cl2 ·4 CHCl3. VCH Verlagsgcsellschaft mbH, 1996.

An efficient and chemoselective deoxygenation of hetero cyclic N-oxides using LiCl/NaBH4

Raja Ram,Purushothama Chary,Iyengar

Microwave-accelerated direct synthesis of 3-picoline from glycerol through a liquid phase reaction pathway

Luo, Cai-Wu,Feng, Xiao-Yan,Chao, Zi-Sheng

, p. 8863 - 8871 (2016)

A novel route for the synthesis of 3-picoline from glycerol via liquid phase reaction under mild condition, using microwave irradiation, had been well established. The heating mode had a profound effect on the yield of 3-picoline. The formation of 3-picoline could be promoted significantly by microwave heating, however, only very little amount of 3-picoline was generated by conventional heating under the reaction conditions employed in this study. Influencing factors were systemically investigated on the basis of a HAc-catalyzed under microwave irradiation. Additionally, a lot of heterogeneous catalysts were screened. It was found that as high as a 71% yield of 3-picoline was obtained with the mass ratio of pure glycerol/ammonium acetate/acetic acid/TiO2 = 1/3/10/0.2 at 373 K, after only 20 min of microwave irradiation. A catalyst pair (HAc and TiO2) exhibited better catalytic performance relative to other catalysts in this work. Accordingly, microwave assistance together with the catalysts achieved effective transformation of glycerol to 3-picoline under mild conditions. The related plausible reaction mechanisms were also proposed.

In situ formation and reaction of 2-pyridylboronic esters

Fuller, Amelia A.,Hester, Heidi R.,Salo, Eric V.,Stevens, Erland P.

, p. 2935 - 2938 (2003)

2-Pyridylboronic esters were generated by cross-coupling 2-bromopyridines with bis(pinacolato)diboron in the presence of a base and palladium catalyst. The boronic esters reacted in situ with unreacted 2-bromopyridines to afford high yields of 2,2′-bipyridines as homocoupled products. Depending upon the reaction conditions, varying amounts of protodeboronated products were also observed. An attempted cross-coupling between two different 2-bromopyridines produced a nearly statistical mixture of homo- and cross-coupled products.

Effective charge on the nucleophile and leaving group during the stepwise transfer of the triazinyl group between pyridines in aqueous solution

Cullum, Neil R.,Renfrew, A. Hunter M.,Rettura, Donatella,Taylor, John A.,Whitmore, James M. J.,Williams, Andrew

, p. 9200 - 9205 (1995)

Second-order rate constants (kxpy) have been measured for the displacement reaction between substituted pyridines (xpy) and 1′-(2,6-diphenoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)pyridinium ion in aqueous solution. The rate constants for the reverse reaction (k-xpy) have also been measured for substituted pyridine leaving groups. The plots of log kxpy and log k-xpy against pKaxpy each consist of two intersecting linear correlations consistent with a two-step mechanism involving a Meisenheimer-like intermediate. The overall transfer of the triazin-2-yl group between substituted pyridines has a βeq value of 1.25. There is negligible coupling between the bonding changes in both steps, and the substituent effects indicate that bond formation is half complete in the addition step. Reaction of substituted pyridines with 2,6-diphenoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl chloride has a similar bonding change in the addition step. The 1′-triazin-2-ylpyridinium ion species exist in aqueous solution in equilibrium with the pseudobase formed by addition of water at the 2-position of the pyridinium ring.

Thermal decomposition and ring expansion in 2,4-dimethylpyrrole. Single pulse shock tube and modeling studies

Lifshitz, Assa,Suslensky, Aya,Tamburu, Carmen

, p. 4851 - 4861 (2003)

The thermal decomposition of 2,4-dimethylpyrrole was studied behind reflected shock waves in a pressurized driver single-pulse shock tube over the temperature range 1050-1250 K at overall densities of ~3 × 10-5 mol/cm3. A plethora of decomposition products, both with and without nitrogen, were found in the post-shock mixtures. They were, among the nitrogen containing products: pyridine, two isomers of methylpyrrole, 2-picoline, 5-picoline, HCN, CH3CN, C2H3CN, C2H5CN, and CH≡C-CN. Very small quantities of cis- and trans-CH3CH=CHCN and CH2=CHCH2CN were also found in the post-shock mixtures. Among the products without nitrogen were CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C2H2, CH3H≡CH, CH2=C=CH2, C4H4 and C4H2, and very small quantities of other C4 hydrocarbons and C5 hydrocarbons. The initiation of a chain mechanism in the decomposition of 2,4-dimethylpyrrole takes place via ejection of hydrogen atoms from sp3 carbons and dissociation of the two methyl groups attached to the ring. The H atoms and the methyl radicals initiate a chain mechanism by abstraction of a hydrogen atom from the methyl group and by dissociative recombination of an H atom and removal of a methyl group from the ring. In addition to the dissociation reactions, there are several unimolecular channels that involve ring cleavage. Ring expansion processes that lead to the production of high yields of pyridine and picoline take place from radical species: CH3[C4H2NH]CH2 in the production of picoline and [C4H3NH]CH2 in the production of pyridine. In addition to the chain mechanism, there are unimolecular breakdown processes of the pyrrole ring to yield stable products such as HCN, CH3CN, and others. The total decomposition of 2,4-dimethylpyrrole in terms of a first-order rate constant is given by ktotal = 1016.31 exp(-75.7 × 103/RT) s-1. A reaction scheme containing 36 species and 69 elementary reactions was composed and a computer simulation was performed over the temperature range 1050-1250 K at 25 K intervals. The agreement between the experimental results and the model prediction for most of the species is satisfactory.

Evidence for a Single Transition State in the Transfer of the Phosphoryl Group (-PO32-) to Nitrogen Nucleophiles from Pyridino-N-phosphonates

Bourne, Nicholas,Williams, Andrew

, p. 7591 - 7596 (1984)

The reaction of pyridinio-N-phosphonates with pyridines in aqueous buffers has been demonstrated to involve nucleophilic attack at phosphorus.The second-order rate constants obey the equation log kxpy = 0.15pKxpy - 0.86 for attack on isoquinolino-N-phosphonate over a wide range of pyridine basicity indicating a single transition state; this is consistent with a concerted transfer of the phosphoryl group rather than with a stepwise mechanism involving metaphosphate ion in a ternary encounter complex with donor and acceptor.Transfer of the phosphoryl group to pyridine from substituted pyridinio-N-phosphonates obeys the equation log k = -0.92pKxpy + 5.24 and leads to a βeq of 1.07 for substituent effect on the equilibrium constant for transfer.The effective charge at nitrogen, in the transition state, indicated by these values favors weak P-N bonding.An imbalance of -0.77 effective charge units between entering and leaving nitrogen in the transition state is proposed to derive from the charge on the PO3 atoms, which therefore do not bear a full negative charge in the transition state.Transfer of the phosphoryl group from isoquinolinio-N-phosphonate to amines has been investigated kinetically, and the results are also consistent with weak bonding between phosphorus and nitrogen in the transition state.

Thermal analysis of complexes of cadmium chloride picoline

Liptay, G.,Borbely-Kuszmann, A.,Wadsten, T.,Losonczi, J.

, p. 915 - 922 (1988)

The thermal decomposition of the α, β and γ-picoline complexes of cadmium were studied by means of TG-DTG-DTA. In connection with the preparation of the complex compounds, it was established that the ligand number was influenced by the reaction medium. The thermal decomposition took place stepwise, and intermediates were formed which could be isolated with a derivatograph by the 'freezing-in' method. The structures and properties of these previously unknown compounds were investigated by far-IR spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction.

Mild and efficient deoxygenation of amine-N-oxides with BiCl3/Indium system

Yoo, Byung Woo,Choi, Jin Woo

The BiCl3/indium system was found to be a new reagent for deoxygenation of various amine-N-oxides to the corresponding amines in good to excellent yields under mild conditions.

Preparation of pyridine and 3-picoline from acrolein and ammonia with HF/MgZSM-5 catalyst

Zhang, Xian,Wu, Zhen,Liu, Wei,Chao, Zi-Sheng

, p. 10 - 14 (2016)

Pyridine and 3-picoline were prepared from acrolein and ammonia using HF/MgZSM-5 as catalyst. The HF/MgZSM-5 catalyst was produced from modification of HZSM-5 by HF and Mg(NO3)2. It was found that the micropore structure of the HZSM-5 carrier would be destroyed when Mg and HF were loaded. This corrosion process could be promoted by employing HF onto MgZSM-5 carrier comparing with HZSM-5 one, because of the damage of MgO to ZSM-5 stability. A micro-mesoporous HZSM-5 zeolite with fewer and weaker acid sites was prepared after HF modification. Under the optimized conditions, a total yield of 68% can be reached, with 36% being 3-picoline and 30% being pyridine.
