2-Amino-6-methylpyridine Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Derived from 2-methylpyridine amination. Pass liquid ammonia into the reaction tank, add high-speed nitrate iron, slowly add small pieces of metallic sodium in portions with stirring, and continue stirring for 3 hours after the addition. The ammonia is discharged naturally until the reaction solution is in the form of a thin slurry to obtain sodium ammonia solution. Anhydrous xylene was added to sodium amide, stirred and heated to remove residual ammonia gas. The temperature was raised to 120°C and 2-methylpyridine was added dropwise. After the addition was completed, the reaction was maintained at 124-129°C for 10 hours. Slowly add appropriate amount of water to hydrolyze at 90-100℃. After the hydrolysis is completed and stir for half an hour, the xylene layer is separated by standing, xylene is recovered by distillation, and then the 90-120℃ (1.33-2.67kPa) fraction is collected by vacuum distillation, which is 2 -Amino-6-picoline. The yield is 72%.
