Reaction Steps

10 g of 4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyrone, 5 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride and 20 g of 2-aminopyridine were heated for 26 hours to 70°C, whereupon after 17 hours a further 2 g of hydroxylamine were added. Working up was effected as usual and there were obtained 7.1 g (67 %) of 1-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2-pyridone melting at 108° C (Calc.: 5.9 % N, found 5.9 % N).
