Application

2,2′-Bipyridyl may be used for the preparation of aldehydes from primary alcohols via aerobic oxidation using CuI/TEMPO (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxyl) catalyst system.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Metalloprotease inhibitor, high-affinity chelator of iron; may inhibit Fe2+ containing enzymes at 10−8 M.

General description

2,2′-Bipyridyl, is a symmetrical bipyridine commonly used as a neutral ligand for complexation with metal ions. The molecule is planar with trans-conformation and crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system.
