In organic chemistry, atoms other than carbon and hydrogen are generally referred to as heteroatoms. The most common heteroatoms are nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur. Now I present to you an article called Compounds affecting the development of housefly larvae, published in 1963, which mentions a compound: 148-51-6, mainly applied to , Reference of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,4-dimethylpyridin-3-ol hydrochloride.
Larval medium (50 g.) was saturated with 100 ml. of water containing 0.5-0.1 g. of the compound and 100 housefly eggs added. After 4 days it was examined for larvae and 3 days later for pupae. Emerging flies laid their eggs on untreated medium after 7 days. A sample of eggs remained in the medium, which was examined for larvae. The flies of this generation were reared to the adult stage. Compounds (245) are listed which are larvicides at 0.5 g. but not at 0.1 g. dosage; 64 compounds are larvicides at a dosage of ≤0.1 g.; 19 cause mortality in the pupal stage. 1,4-Bis(3-hydroxypropionyl)piperazine dimethanesulfonate causes low oviposition or failure of eggs to hatch at 0.05 and 0.025%, low enough to permit some adult emergence.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：OC1=C(C)C(CO)=CN=C1C.[H]Cl)Reference of 5-(hydroxymethyl)-2,4-dimethylpyridin-3-ol hydrochloride, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(148-51-6) can be discovered.
