This report summarizes the unexpected properties of the 2,3-dihydropyridinium species generated by the monoamine oxidase B catalyzed oxidation of 4-(benzoyloxy)-l-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, an analog of the neurotoxic 4-phenyltetrahydropyridine derivative. Unlike the corresponding 4-aryloxy and 4-carbamoyloxy derivatives which undergo rapid hydrolytic cleavage via a 1,4-addition of water, the benzoyloxy metabolite undergoes a 1,2-addition reaction to yield a carbinolamine that subsequently rearranges to a beta-keto aldehyde that was characterized as the corresponding pyrazole. From these results it appears that, under physiological conditions, 2,3-dihydropyridinium species in general may exist in equilibrium with the corresponding carbinolamines and ring-opened amino aldehydes, species which may be of importance in understanding the chemical and biological properties of these heterocyclic systems.
