Methylpyridinium is an ion with the formula C5H5NCH+3. It is the N-methylated derivative of pyridine. It confers no color to its salts. The ion is classified as an quaternary ammonium ion.[1]
Preparation and occurrence
[edit]Methylpyridinium is prepared by treating pyridine with dimethylsulfate:[2]
- C5H5N + (CH3O)2SO2 → [C5H5NCH3]+CH3OSO−3
It is found in some coffee products.[3] It is not present in unroasted coffee beans, but is formed during roasting from its precursor chemical, trigonelline.[3] It is under investigation by scientists regarding its potential anti-carcinogenic properties,[4] particularly an effect on colon cancer.[3]
Ionic liquid
[edit]The chloride salt of N-methylpyridinium behaves as an ionic liquid. Mixtures of that salt and zinc chloride have been characterised over the temperature range 150–200 °C (423–473 K).[5][6][7][8]
