Abstract
It is shown that, according to the results of chromatographic mass spectrometry, the reaction of 2,6-dimethylpyridine with phenyllithium leads only to the monolithium derivative. The chlorination and bromination of 2,6-dimethylpyridine with various reagents were studied systematically. A method for the conversion of 2,6-bis(chloromethyl)pyridine to 2,6-bis(hydroxymethyl)pyridine is given.
