Abstract
Electrolyses of ethylpicolinate in aqueous sulfuric acid solutions were performed on a lead cathode in galvanostatic mode. The reduction of the ester function was in competition with that of the pyridine nucleus. Study of the change in solution composition with time during electrolysis allowed evaluation of the influence of parameters such as acidity, current density, initial concentration of ethylpicolinate and temperature, on the competing formation of the different electrolysis products. Parameter values were chosen for synthesis of 2-hydroxymethylpyridine.
