Preparation

edit

4-Pyridone, and its derivatives, are prepared from 4-pyrone and amines in protic solvents.[1][2][3]

 

Tautomerism

edit

4-Pyridone exists a keto-enol tautomerism with its enol tautomer 4-hydroxypyridine. In solution, the keto tautomer is favoured,[4] and the enol tautomer only becomes important in very dilute solutions or solutions of non-polar solvents. However, the enol tautomer is dominant in the gas phase.[5]

Derivatives

edit

Fluridone is an aquatic herbicide that contains a 4-pyridone subunit.[6]
