2,5-Pyridinedicarboxylic acid → 2,6-Pyridinedimethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

Pyridine 2,5-dicarboxylic acid is reacted in a process similar to that utilized in the reaction of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoic acid set forth in the first two portions of the procedure of Example I so as to produce the corresponding mixed anhydride that is subjected to the catalytic hydrogatation to obtain pyridine 2,6-dimethanol.
