HCID 20441861Amyl 3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-3-(4-pyridyl)propionate

Procedure

A 100 milligram quantity of the hydroxy ester described in Example III is pyrolyzed in a sealed tube at 400° C. for 3 minutes. Analysis of the pyrolysis mixture by gas chromatography indicates the presence of about 30% of a mixture in a 1:1 ratio of amyl acetate and 4-acetylpyridine. The remainder of the mixture contains unreacted starting material.
