Properties: Colorless in acid soln, bright-yellow in alkaline soln. uv max (alkaline soln): 390 nm (Em 3.7); in acid soln: 295 nm (Em 5.1). Gives a negative 2,6-dichloroquinone chlorimide test. On oxidation with H2O2 in alkaline solution yields [(2-methyl-3,4-dihydroxy-5-pyridyl)methyl]phosphoric acid.
Absorption maximum: uv max (alkaline soln): 390 nm (Em 3.7); in acid soln: 295 nm (Em 5.1)
