General description

2,6-Lutidine-α2,3-diol (3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol) on condensation with chlorides of carbamidophosphoric acids yields N-Substituted N′-[6-methyl-2-oxido-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinino(5,4,-b)pyridine-2-yl]urea. It forms organotin (IV) complexes on reaction with dimethyl-, diethyl- and dibutyltin (IV) oxide.

Application

2,6-Lutidine-α2,3-diol (3-Hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyridinemethanol) was used in the synthesis of:
  • (3-hydroxy-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methyl pivaloate
  • triflate
  • (3-(allyloxy)-6-methylpyridin-2-yl)methanol
