Common Name3-Acetylpyridine
Description3-Acetylpyridine, also known as beta-Acetylpyridine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aryl alkyl ketones. These are ketones have the generic structure RC(=O)R', where R = aryl group and R'=alkyl group. It is one of several isomers of acetylpyridine wherein the acetyl group is attached at different positions around the pyridine ring relative to the pyridinyl nitrogen. 3-Acetylpyridine exists as a viscous, colorless liquid that is moderately soluble in water. It has a sweet, nutty, popcorn or hawthorn aroma and a nutty, roasted, corn chip or corn-like taste and contributes to the flavor of corn tortillas, popcorn, and beer. 3-Acetylpyridine occurs naturally in a number of foods and beverages including beer, brandy, bread, coffee, roasted filberts and whiskey. 3-Acetylpyridine is one of 599 additives in cigarettes submitted to the United States Department of Health and Human Services in April 1994 (PMID: 17666709 ). 3-Acetylpyridine is a known neurotoxin preferentially targets the inferior olive (IO) neurons (the source of the climbing fiber inputs to the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum) and a consequent ataxia manifest by alterations in both balance and gait (PMID: 27986589 ). It is used as a metabolic antagonist in research to decrease levels of nicotinamide (niacinamide) in laboratory animals (PMID: 27986589 ). 3-Acetylpyridine is formed during the combustion of cannabis and is therefore a constituent of cannabis smoke ( Ref:DOI ).
