Application

2-Picoline (2-Methylpyridine) was used to study the electron and proton transfer reactions of lumiflavin using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.
2-Picoline was used in the synthetic pathway for the production of dearomatized, allylated and C-H bond activated pyridine derivatives.

A polypyridyl ruthenium complex with fluorinated bipyridine ligands and a covalently bound tyrosine moiety was synthesized, and its photo-induced proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity in acetonitrile was investigated with transient absorption spectroscopy. Using flash-quench methodology with methyl viologen as an

A facile and general synthetic pathway for the production of dearomatized, allylated, and C-H bond activated pyridine derivatives is presented. Reaction of the corresponding derivative with the previously reported reagent bis(allyl)calcium, [Ca(C(3)H(5))(2)] (1), cleanly affords the product in high yield.

The voltammetric behavior of 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine was found to be able to differentiate the hydrogen acceptor abilities of electroinactive pyridine compounds in acetonitrile. Weak and strong hydrogen acceptors were distinguished through the onset of a third oxidation process that came about

In the current study, quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRR) were constructed based on data obtained by a LC-(ESI)-QTOF-MS/MS method for the determination of amino acid analogues, following their derivatization via chloroformate esters. Molecules were derivatized via n-propyl chloroformate/n-propanol mediated reaction. Derivatives
