Procedure
1 gram (g) of 5% or 10% palladium-on-carbon catalyst and 25 milliliters (ml) 4-ethylpyridine are heated for 3 days under reflux while being stirred. (Alternatively, 5% platinum-on-carbon or 5% rhodium-on-carbon may be used as the catalyst.) The reaction mixture is treated with boiling benzene, filtered, and distilled to give benzene, 4-ethylpyridine, and 4,4'-diethyl-2,2'-bipyridine.
