Reaction Steps

Specifically, Examples of the above-described U.S. Pat. No. 4,861,894 describe that the pyridine bases are synthesized using acetaldehyde and formaldehyde as starting materials to obtain pyridine yield of 47% and picoline yield of 17% (total yield of 61%). Furthermore, Japanese Patent Publication Kokoku No. 92368/1994 [Japanese Patent Publication Kokai No. 181256/1987] and Japanese Patent Publication Kokoku No. 92369/1994 [Japanese Patent Publication Kokai No. 139168/1988] describe processes in which there are employed zeolites in or on to which Tl, Co, and Pb compounds are carried.
