The determination of nicotinamide as 3-cyanopyridine after dehydration by heptafluorobutyric anhydride (HFB) was performed by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) with flame ionization detection (GLC-FID) and a column of 5% OV-17 on Chromosorb W AW DMCS at 130 degrees C. Determination was

The epoxidation of alkenes with 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide is catalyzed efficiently by methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) in the presence of pyridine additives. The addition of 1-10 mol % of 3-cyanopyridine increases the system's efficiency for terminal and trans-disubstituted alkenes resulting in

A rapid, simple and sensitive fluorometric assay method for the determination of nitrilase activity is described. 3-Cyanopyridine was hydrolysed to nicotinic acid by Rhodococcus rhodochrous and the liberated NH(3) was allowed to react with buffered o -phthaldialdehyde-2-mercaptoethanol solution (pH 7.4)

2-Chloronicotinic acid is receiving much attention for its effective applications as a key precursor in the synthesis of pesticides and medicines. In this study, a strain ZJB-09149 converting 2-chloro-3-cyanopyridine to 2-chloronicotinic acid was newly isolated and identified as Rhodococcus erythropolis
