The ultraviolet absorption spectra of pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxine and several related 3-hydroxypyridines are compared and correlated with those of a number of other pyridine and benzene derivatives. The two absorption bands in the accessible spectrum of each of the 3-hydroxypyridines appear to correspond to those of the spectra of pyridine and of benzene.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
