PYRIDINE

Pyridine is a basic compound occurring in coal tar and in the oil obtained by the distillation of bones. It is the parent substance of a large number of derivatives, including some of the natural alkaloids, such as nicotine and piperine. Pyridine is sometimes used for denaturing alcohol, so as to render it unfit to drink.
