Synthesis and Antimycobacterial Activity of Hydrazides Based on Pyridoxine Derivatives

详细

Pyridoxine derivatives, 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4- and -5-carbohydrazides, were synthesized according to optimized known procedures, and a method for the synthesis of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carbohydrazide was developed. The hydroxymethyl groups in positions 5 and 6 of 2,2,8-trimethyl-4H-[1,3]dioxino[4,5-c]pyridine showed different reactivities, and only the 6-hydroxymethyl group was selectively oxidized to aldehyde under mild conditions. The lactone ring in 5,6-dihydrofuro[3,4-b]pyridin-7(5H)-one was found to be stable to nucleophiles. The synthesized hydrazides showed no antimycobacterial activity.
