Synthesis and unusual stability of pyridine and N-methyl pyridinium 1,3-dioxolanes

摘要

Differentially substituted bridged pyridinium oximes are necessary in research on antidotes for organophosphate poisoning. A solid-phase synthesis would improve the yield and ease of purification of these compounds. To predict the lability of the linker in the final step of our proposed synthesis, we synthesized a series of pyridine and N-methyl pyridinium acetals. These compounds proved to be resistant to acid catalyzed hydrolysis. This stability may be useful for synthetic manipulation of pyridine aldehydes. [References: 38]
