Synthesis of novel 6-substituted sulfur-containing derivatives of pyridoxine

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of novel 6-substituted derivatives of pyridoxine was achieved. The reactions of various thiols with mono-, bis-, and tris(hlorine) derivatives of 6-methyl-2,3,4-tris(hydroxymethyl)pyridin-5-ol (6-hydroxymethylpyridoxine) gave sulfur-containing derivatives of pyridoxine. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
