Synthesis and crystallographic characterization of 6-hydroxy-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-one
Abstract
The title compound, C5H5NO2, is a hydroxylated pyridine ring that has been studied for its involvement in microbial degradation of nicotinic acid. Here we describe its synthesis as a formic acid salt, rather than the standard hydrochloride salt that is commercially available, and its spectroscopic and crystallographic characterization.
