Application

2-Picoline (2-Methylpyridine) was used to study the electron and proton transfer reactions of lumiflavin using Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry.
2-Picoline was used in the synthetic pathway for the production of dearomatized, allylated and C-H bond activated pyridine derivatives.

A polypyridyl ruthenium complex with fluorinated bipyridine ligands and a covalently bound tyrosine moiety was synthesized, and its photo-induced proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity in acetonitrile was investigated with transient absorption spectroscopy. Using flash-quench methodology with methyl viologen as an

A facile and general synthetic pathway for the production of dearomatized, allylated, and C-H bond activated pyridine derivatives is presented. Reaction of the corresponding derivative with the previously reported reagent bis(allyl)calcium, [Ca(C(3)H(5))(2)] (1), cleanly affords the product in high yield.

Examination of electron transfer and proton transfer reactions of lumiflavin and proton transfer reactions of the lumiflavin radical anion by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry is described. From the equilibrium constant determined for electron transfer between 1,4-naphthoquinone and

The voltammetric behavior of 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine was found to be able to differentiate the hydrogen acceptor abilities of electroinactive pyridine compounds in acetonitrile. Weak and strong hydrogen acceptors were distinguished through the onset of a third oxidation process that came about

In the current study, quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRR) were constructed based on data obtained by a LC-(ESI)-QTOF-MS/MS method for the determination of amino acid analogues, following their derivatization via chloroformate esters. Molecules were derivatized via n-propyl chloroformate/n-propanol mediated reaction. Derivatives
