General description

2-Pyridinol 1-oxide (HOPO) is a peptide coupling agent used as a subsititue for HOBt. It can form stable chelate complexes with transition metal ions.

Application

2-Pyridinol 1-oxide can be used:    
  • To fabricate gold electrodes for the electrochemical determination of europium using cyclic voltammetry.        
  • To prepare polymeric nickel (II) complex of 2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxide.
  • In the synthesis of 1-methoxypyrid-4-one in the presence of sodium methoxide and methyl toluene-9-sulphonate.

Uranium is widespread in the environment, resulting both from natural occurrences and anthropogenic activities. Its toxicity is mainly chemical rather than radiological. In the blood it is transported as uranyl UO22+ cation and forms complexes with small ligands like carbonates
