Hydrochloric Acid → 2-Chloro-6-methylpyridin-3-ol

Temperatur

80 °C

In 500 ml conc. hydrochloric acid was dissolved 50.0 g (0.46 mole) 6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine. After heating to 80° C., 150 ml 15% hydrogen peroxide was slowly added over several hours while maintaining the reaction temperature at 80°-85°. The reaction mixture was cooled to 50° C. and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was brought to pH 8 by careful addition of 25% sodium hydroxide solution. This mixture was extracted with ether. The solvent was removed and the residue recrystallized one time from water and one time from benzene to provide pure 2-chloro-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridine, mp 190°-191° C. CL EXAMPLE IV
