Synthesis method

Niacin was originally obtained by oxidizing nicotine. In industry, it is mostly alkylpyridine, such as 3-methylpyridine, 2-methyl-5-ethyl It is prepared using pyridine (MEP) and quinoline as raw materials. From the perspective of synthesis methods, it is generally divided into reagent oxidation method, ammonia oxidation method, gas phase oxidation method, electrolytic oxidation method and other methods.
　1. Nitric acid oxidation method: MEP, 3-methylpyridine or quinoline are liquid-phase oxidized with nitric acid to produce nicotinic acid.
　2. Vapor phase oxidation method: This method is characterized by using air (or oxygen-rich air) as the oxidant, and under the action of a catalyst, 3-methylpyridine is oxidized to produce nicotinic acid. Anhui Chaoyang Chemical Factory adopted this method and put it into production. Since this method uses air as the oxidant, the catalyst can be recycled for a long time, and the oxidation is completed in one step. It is less polluting than the ammonia oxidation method. It is a low-cost, high-efficiency and promising method.
　3. Potassium permanganate oxidation method uses 3-methylpyridine as raw material and oxidizes it with potassium permanganate to obtain nicotinic acid. The reaction formula is as follows:

　4. Ammonia oxidation method: 3-methylpyridine (or MEP) is catalytically oxidized in the gas phase with air and ammonia to obtain nicotinonitrile; nicotinonitrile is further hydrolyzed to obtain nicotinamide or nicotinic acid. The reaction formula is as follows:

Purpose

Nutrients, preparation of tissue culture media. This product is a vitamin drug, collectively known as vitamin PP together with nicotinamide. It is used to fight pellagra. It can also be used as a blood dilator and is widely used as an additive in food and feed. As a pharmaceutical intermediate, it is used in the production of isoniazid, nicotinamide, nicotine and inositol nicotinate, etc.
