In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called A Mild Method for Electrochemical Reduction of Heterocyclic N-Oxides, published in 2020-06-01, which mentions a compound: 1008-89-5, Name is 2-Phenylpyridine, Molecular C11H9N, Safety of 2-Phenylpyridine.
Deoxygenation of heteroaromatic N-oxides is commonly accomplished using chem. or enzymic methods. In this work, we report on an expedient protocol for electrochem. reduction of pyridine N-oxide derivatives under mild conditions. A diverse range of mono- and bis N-oxides were converted into the corresponding nitrogen bases in good yields. Importantly, the method is highly selective towards N-oxides and tolerates challenging halo and nitro substituents in the heteroaromatic ring. Thus, e.g., 2-phenylpyridine N-oxide → 2-phenylpyridine (89% isolated) by carring out the reaction in an undivided electrochem. cell with two graphite electrodes in 1:1 MeCN/water mixture using LiBF4 as supporting electrolyte.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：C1(C2=CC=CC=C2)=NC=CC=C1)Safety of 2-Phenylpyridine, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(1008-89-5) can be discovered.
