syn-2-Pyridinealdoxime is a 2-substituted pyridine derivative with inhibitory activity against prolyl-4-hydroxylase. syn-2-Pyridinealdoxime is used in the preparation of DNA-binding silver nitrate complexes. syn-2-Pyridinealdoximeis the N-demethylated analogue of AChE inhibitor Pralidoxime (P701120).
Recrystallise it from Et2O/pet ether or H2O. The picrate has m 169-171o (from aqueous EtOH). It is used in peptide synthesis.
