Abstract
Reaction of phosphorus oxychloride with 2,6-dimethylpyridine N-oxide hydrochloride (1) gave a mixture of 2-(chloromethyl)-6-methylpyridine (2) and 4-chloro-2,6-dimethylpyridine (3). Treatment of this mixture with triethylamine converted 2 to the quaternary salt 4 which was separated by water extraction leaving 3 which was subsequently reacted with trimethylstannyl sodium to yield 2,6-dimethyl-4-(trimethylstannyl)pyridine (6).
