Summary Summary. Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is one of the liver (hepatic) porphyrias. AIP is caused by low levels of porphobilinogen deaminase (PBGD), an enzyme also often called hydroxymethylbilane synthase.
Pyridine-N-oxide is the heterocyclic compound with the formula C 5 H 5 NO. This colourless, hygroscopic solid is the product of the oxidation of pyridine. It was originally prepared using peracids as the oxidising agent. The molecule is planar.yridine-N-oxide is the heterocyclic compound with the formula C 5 H 5 NO.

Nucleophilic Catalyst. Background Colour: NOTE: Important charges and non-bonding electrons are shown throughout the animation except during the transition phase. Click the structures and reaction arrows to view the 3D models and animations respectively. Pyridine is a reasonable nucleophile for carbonyl groups and is often used as a catalyst in acylation reactions.
