Catalytic synthesis of pyridine and methylpyridine from acetylene and ammonia

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

A method was developed for the preparation of pyridine and methylpyridines by ammonolysis of acetylene in the presence of cadmium phosphate. The ratio of the final products depends primarily on the reaction temperature. The formation of pyridine and methylpyridines proceeds through a number of intermediate steps.
