摘要:2, 4-Lutidine 1-oxide was converted to 2-hydroxymethyl-4-methylpyridine and 2-methyl-4-hydroxymethylpyridine by reaction with acetic ahydride, and its formation ratio was about 5 : 1. Besides these, 3-hydroxy-2, 4-lutidine was obtained as a phenolic base. In the case of the reaction of 2, 4-dimethylquinoline 1-oxide with acetic anhydride, 2-hydroxymethyllepidine and a small amount of 3-hydroxy-2, 4-dimethylquinoline were obtained but not 4-hydroxymethylquinaldine.
