Abstract
3‐Hydroxy‐4‐(hydroxymethyl)‐5‐(hydroxymethyl‐d~2~)‐2‐methylpyridine(pyridoxine‐d~2~) was prepared by reduction of α^4^‐3‐0‐isopropylidene‐5‐pyridoxic acid with lithium aluminum deuteride. Deuterium was inserted in the 2‐methyl group using base catalyzed exchange between deuterium oxide and N‐benzyl pyridoxine. Pyridoxine‐d~2~ was converted to pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, pyridoxic acid, pyridoxine phosphate, pyridoxal phosphate, and pyridoxamine phosphate. After acetylation the nonphosphorylated forms could be analyzed by gas chromatography‐chemical ionization mass spectroscopy.

## Abstract The known synthesis of “Ichiba acid”, 2‐methyl‐3‐hydroxypyridine 4,5‐dicarboxylic acid (VII), starting from ethyl acetylpyruvate and cyanoacetamide, has been reinvestigated and simplified to a five step process. Several derivatives of Ichiba acid have been prepared including the triben
