Participants

Reaction Steps

19.0 g (0.068 mol, 1.0 eq.) of 4-heptyloxy-2-acetoxymethyl-3-methylpyridine was added dropwise to a 25% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide at 13 to 25° C., and the mixture was allowed to react for one hour at room temperature, and then extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated to dryness, to obtain 15.0 g of 4-heptyloxy-2-hydroxymethyl-3-methylpyridine as a brown oily matter (yield 92.9%).
