Abstract
The reactions of picolines and their N-oxides with amyl nitrite in the presence of metal amide or sodium hydroxide in liquid ammonia afforded the corresponding aldoximes and acid amides in comparatively good yields. It may be concluded that the methyl group of picoline is much less reactive than that of N-oxide and that the reactivity of methyl group in the pyridine ring increases in the order of 3-, 2-, and 4-position.
