Procedure

To a solution of 0.5 g of 2-[bis-(phenoxy)methyl]-6-(phenoxy)pyridine in 15 ml of 1,4-dioxane was added dropwise, 5 percent sulfuric acid until the mixture just became turbid. The mixture was heated over a steam bath at 80°-90° C. for about 10 minutes. The reaction mixture was poured into 20 ml of water, producing a yellowish emulsion and then extracted with 50 ml of ethyl ether. The extract was washed with 50 ml of a 5 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and thrice with 50 ml portions of water and then with 50 ml of a saturated sodium chloride solution. The extract was then dried over sodium sulfate and the solvent removed by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue was a yellow-orange oil which solidified partially on cooling to yeild 0.3 g of the desired product. The product was confirmed by Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic resonance analysis.
