Abstract
The synthesis of 2, 5-dicyanopyridine from the industrially available 5-ethyl-2-methylpyridine has been effected by oxidative ammonolysis in the presence of a vanadium-tin oxide catalyst and by oxidation with nitric acid to isocinchomeronic acid with the subsequent conversion of the latter into the dichloride, diamide, and dinitrile. The IR spectra of 2, 5-dicyanopyridine have been obtained and its polarographic behavior has been studied.
