Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-hydroxypyridine (200 g, 2.10 mol) in water (500 mL) were added 50% aqueous dimethylamine (228 g) solution and 36% aqueous formalin (210 g) solution, and the mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 hr. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the resulting crystals were collected by filtration to give the title compound (207 g, yield 65%).
