  Pyridine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pyridine is a simple heterocyclic aromatic organic compound that is structurally related to benzene, with one CH group in the six-membered ring replaced by a nitrogen atom.
Pyridine is obtained from crude coal tar or is synthesized from acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and ammonia.
Pyridine is also used as a denaturant for antifreeze mixtures, for ethyl alcohol, and for fungicides, and as a dyeing aid for textiles.

 Vertellus Specialties Inc. - Pyridine
Due to its unique chemical and biological properties, pyridine is the key raw material in the manufacture of the non-selective bipyridyl herbicides, Paraquat and Diquat used to increase agricultural productivity and reduce soil erosion.
In addition, pyridine is the building block for pyrithione biocides and quaternary salts with antimicrobial properties used in personal care, coating and textile applications.
The unique properties of pyridine also find use in both catalyst and solvent applications for sparingly soluble and hard to make materials used in pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

 LCSS: PYRIDINE
Pyridine has not been found to be carcinogenic or to show reproductive or developmental toxicity in humans.
Pyridine is a highly flammable liquid (NFPA rating = 3), and its vapor can travel a considerable distance and "flash back." Pyridine vapor forms explosive mixtures with air at concentrations of 1.8 to 12.4% (by volume).
Pyridine should be handled in the laboratory using the "basic prudent practices" described in Chapter 5.C. In particular, pyridine should be used only in areas free of ignition sources, and quantities greater than 1 liter should be stored in tightly sealed metal containers in areas separate from oxidizers.

 Acid Gas Extraction of Pyridine from Water   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Pyridine was extracted from aqueous solutions initially containing 5 or 15 wt % pyridine by using liquid or supercritical carbon dioxide at 10 MPa as a solvent in a mechanically agitated countercurrent extraction column.
The lowest pyridine concentration in the raffinate was 0.06 wt %, whereas the pyridine concentration in the extract was 86-94 wt %.
From the initial amount of pyridine, 96-99% was transferred from the feed stream to the extract by using relatively small solvent-to-feed ratios of 2.8-4.6 (kg of solvent/kg of feed).

Pyridine Chemical Backgrounder Description: Pyridine (CAS #110-86-1) is a colorless liquid with an unpleasant smell, which can be made from crude coal tar or from other chemicals.
Regulation: Pyridine releases into the air are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates pyridine as a food additive, or synthetic flavoring substance component of polycarbonate, and as a resin, or indirect food additive.
In 1998, 6,991,621 pounds of pyridine waste were managed; 616,015 pounds were recycled on-site; none was recycled off-site; 1,759,911 pounds were used for energy recovery on-site; 1,089,521 pounds were used for energy recovery off- site; 2,098,536 pounds were treated on-site; 735,840 pounds were treated off- site; and 691,798 pounds were released on-and off-site.

 Pyridines
Vinylpyridines of the type 33 were soon identified as especially good intermediates for side-chain elongation, due to the well-known propensity of their olefinic linkage to undergo nucleophilic addition.[12] Either indolizidines or quinolizidines would therefore be made from 33 through addition of a C1 or a C2 unit, respectively.
We conclude this section by pointing out that the introduction of an a-dicarbonyl motif as a means to increase the reactivity of an enone that is otherwise disinclined to undergo lanthanide-mediated heterocycloaddition appears to be a general solution.
In summary, we have shown that our pyridine-forming reaction may be used to prepare sterically congested 3,4-diarylpyridine, and therefore it can play a central role in defining a unified approach to a number of phenanthroizidine alkaloids and their seco relatives.

 Two new elastin cross-links having pyridine skeleton. Implication of ammonia in elastin cross-linking in vivo.
The structures of these amino acids were determined to have 3,4,5- and 2,3,5-trisubstituted pyridine skeletons both with three carboxylic acids and a mass of 396 (C(18)H(28)N(4)0(6)) identified as 4-(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)-3,5-di-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)-pyridine and 2-(4-amino-4-carboxybutyl)-3,5-di-(3-amino-3-carboxypropyl)-pyridine.
Structure analysis of these pyridine cross-links implied that the formation of these cross-links involved the condensation reaction between ammonia and allysine.
Although DESP and IDP are present at only trace concentrations in the tissue elastin, these pyridine cross-links may be useful biomarkers for the aortic elastin damaged by ammonia.

 Pyridine (CASRN 110-86-1), IRIS, Environmental Protection Agency
In order to examine the neurotoxicity of pyridine, 10 rats/group were perfused at the time of sacrifice; histopathologic examinations of brain, liver, and other target organs were conducted.
The previous RfD of 0.002 mg/kg/day (7/8/85) for pyridine was based on a subchronic inhalation study in rats that was reported in the Encyclopedia of Occupational Safety and Health (1983).
The lower dose, 10 ppm pyridine (2.15 mg/kg/day) had no effect on growth rate and mortality, but an increase in the relative liver weights was observed.

 Chemicals Technology - Nantong Chemical Manufacturing Plant, China
The $30 million plant is designed to produce 11,000 tonnes per year of pyridine products, which is broken down into 8,000 tonnes per year of pure pyridine and 3,000 tonnes per year of methyl pyridine.
Of the 8,000 tonnes of pure pyridine, 5,000 tonnes will be sold to a British funded pesticide factory based in Nantong, while the remaining 3,000 tonnes are for the Asian and Chinese markets.
Currently only one factory in China produces industrial pyridine but it is on a small scale and is far from reaching the levels needed to meet the demand of the industry.

 Pyridine Recovery
Pyridine is a solvent which is widely used in the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
In the mixer-settlers, the aqueous pyridine solution is intimately contacted with the chlorinated solvent and then the two phases settled out.
Because pyridine is much more soluble in the chlorinated solvent than in water, in each mixer-settler progressively more of the pyridine passes into the solvent.
