Abstract
3,3′-Oxybispyridine is prepared by reaction of 3-hydroxypyridine with 3-bromopyridine and converted to the 1,1′-dimethyl diquaternary salt with methyl iodide. The salt is reduced polarographically by a one electron transfer not involving hydrogen to an unstable radical cation at a potential (Eo) of −0.81 V in the pH range 6.3-12.0.
