Abstract
The influence of temperature, reaction time, and type of the catalyst on the yield of the 2,3,5-trimethylpyridine (collidine) from 3-amino-2-methylpropenal and methylethylketone was investigated. 3-Amino-2-methylpropenal was synthesized from 3-ethoxy-2-methylacrolein previously synthesized from methylmalondialdehyde tetraethyl acetal, obtained from triethyl orthoformate and propenyl ether. The optimal conditions for the investigated synthesis were temperature of 150 ?C, reaction time 24 h, and the CH3COOH/pTsOH catalyst. This synthesis is the first successful attempt to synthesize 2,3,5-trimethylpyridine in an acid medium.
