Participants

Reaction Steps

15.4 g (0.05 mol, 1.0 eq.) of 4-nonyloxy-2-acetoxymethyl-3-methylpyridine was added dropwise to a 20% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (20.0 g) at 11 to 21° C., and the mixture was allowed to react for one hour at room temperature, and then extracted with water (77 mL) and toluene (128 mL). The extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then concentrated to dryness, to obtain 16.8 g of 4-nonyloxy-2-hydroxymethyl-3-methylpyridine as a brown oily matter.
