참여 물질

반응 단계

22.6 g of sodium are dissolved in 4 1 of methanol under argon. 120 g of 2,3,5-trimethyl-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide are then added portionwise thereto and the solution is left to boil under reflux overnight. The pH is adjusted to 7 by means of 5N hydrogen chloride in ethyl acetate while cooling and the mixture is then evaporated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in 1.5 1 of methylene chloride, the solution is filtered throuqh siliceous earth, which is rinsed with 0.5 1 of methylene chloride, the combined filtrates are evaporated in vacuo and the residue is crystallized from petroleum ether. There is obtained 4-methoxy-2,3,5-trimethylpyridine 1-oxide of melting point 48°-50°.
