General description

3-Methoxypyridine is a substituted pyridine. Kinetics of the oxidation of 3-methoxypyridine mediated by sulphate radicals has been investigated by flash photolysis of peroxodisulphate, S2O82-. Ortho lithiation of 3-methoxypyridine has been studied using mesityllithium as the metalating base.

Application

3-Methoxypyridine may be employed as a catalyst for the addition reaction of various 1,2-acyclic diones to activated acetylenic esters.
