2,6-Pyridinedicarbothioic acid (PDTC) is an organosulfur compound that is produced by some bacteria. It functions as a siderophore, a low molecular weight compound that scavenges iron. Siderophores solubilize compounds by forming strong complexes. PDTC is secreted by the soil bacteria Pseudomonas stutzeri and Pseudomonas putida.10.1007/978-3-211-99661-4_1 2010 Budzikiewicz Herbert Fortschritte der Chemie organischer Naturstoffe / Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products, Vol. 92 A.

Synthesis and biosynthesis
PDTC can be synthesized in the laboratory by treating the diacid dichloride of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic with H2S in pyridine:
NC5H3(COCl)2 + 2 H2S + 2 C5H5N → [C5H5NH+][HNC5H3(COS)2-] + [C5H5NH]Cl
This route produces the pyridinium salt of pyridinium-2,6-dicarbothioate. Treatment of this orange-colored salt with sulfuric acid gives colorless PDTC, which can then be extracted with dichloromethane.10.1080/03086648308080490 Zur Struktur Eines 1:1-Adduktes von Pyridin-2,6-Dicarbothiosäure und Pyridin 1983 Hildebrand U.

PDTC binds to both Fe2+ and Fe3+. The ferric complex is brown, whereas the ferrous complex is blue. In the presence of air, the ferrous complex oxidizes to the ferric compound.Ockels, W., Roemer, A., Budzikiewicz, H., Korth, H., Pulverer, G., "Bacterial constituents. II. An iron(II) complex of pyridine-2,6-di-(monothiocarboxylic acid) - a novel bacterial metabolic product", Tetrahedron Lett. 1978, 3341. 10.1016/S0040-4039(01)85634-3 It is iron selective as only the Fe complex is soluble in water. PDTC is produced mainly during the exponential phase of bacterial growth. The conditions at which Pseudomonas produces PDTC is 25 °C, pH=8 and sufficient aeration.
