Sodium Hydroxide → 2-Hydroxymethyl-3-methyl-4-propoxy-pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

27.8 g of 2-acetoxymethyl-3-methyl-4-propoxy-pyridine was added dropwise into a 25% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and the mixture was allowed to react for one hour at room temperature. Subsequently, the reaction liquid was diluted with toluene, and then the toluene phase was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated to dryness, to obtain 11.0 g of 2-hydroxymethyl-3-methyl-4-propoxy-pyridine as an oily matter.
