Notes:
The hydrogen bond complexes between metyrapone [methyl-1,2-di(3-pyridyl)propan-1-one] and hydroxylic proton donors (phenols, water) were investigated by infrared spectroscopy. The thermodynamic and spectroscopic data determined in carbon tetrachloride suggest that the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring A [bonded to the C(CH3)2 group] is the main hydrogen bond interaction site. The data are compared with di-2-pyridylglyoxal complexes where the hydrogen bonds are formed on the oxygen atom of the carbonyl function. In the solid adduct of metyrapone with HCl, protonation takes place on the two nitrogen atoms of the pyridine rings. The data from this work are compared with those from chemical oxidation, which leads predominantly to the formation of mono-N-oxide A and di-N-oxide.
