Quinolinic Acid → Water 2,3-Lutidine Quinolinic Acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A medium of 66 wt% water and 33 wt% 2,3-lutidine was prepared and also found substantially heterogeneous, whereafter addition of only 2 wt% quinolinic acid caused considerable solublization of the 2,3-lutidine. Additional quinolinic acid was added to form solutions of greater than 25 wt% diacid, 25 wt% 2,3-lutidine, and 50 wt% water (conductivity 11000 micro-Seimens/cm). Additionally, it was noted that the presence of 2,3-lutidine significantly increased the solubility of quinolinic acid in water.
