Participants

Reaction Steps

To 41.4 g (0.1 mol, 1.0 eq.) of 4-nonyloxy-2,3-dimethylpyridine, 40.8 g (0.4 mol, 4.0 eq.) of acetic anhydride was added, and the mixture was allowed to react for 7 hours at 88 to 92° C. Acetic anhydride was distilled off, and then the resulting concentrated residue was purified on a silica gel column, to obtain 16.7 g of 4-nonyloxy-2-acetoxymethyl-3-methylpyridine as a black brown oily matter (total yield of two processes 54.4%).
