| Uses | 3-methylpyridine, also known as β-methylpyridine and 3-picoline, is an organic synthesis intermediate and solvent. It is used as an intermediate of insecticides imidacloprid and acetamiprid for the synthesis of the next intermediate 3-methylpyridine-N-oxide, and can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, dye intermediate, resin intermediate, etc. Mainly used in the manufacture of vitamin B6, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide, nicoramine and cardiotonic and other drugs; it can also be used as solvents, alcohol mutants, dye intermediates, resin intermediates, rubber vulcanization accelerators, Insecticides, raw materials for waterproofing agents, and additives for film sensitizers. used in the pharmaceutical industry, also used as dye intermediates, resin intermediates, insecticides and waterproofing agents, etc. mainly used in the manufacture of vitamin B, niacin, cardiotonic agents, etc., and can also be used as solvents, alcohol Denaturing agents, various intermediates, pesticides |
| production method | recovered from coal coking by-products and also produced by synthetic method. Reacts by acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and ammonia. Using SiO2-Al2O2-Bi2O3 as catalyst, the molar ratio of raw materials is acetaldehyde: 37% formaldehyde: ammonia = 1.648:3.096, and the reaction is carried out at 432 ℃. The yield of pyridine is 48.4%, and the yield of 3-methylpyridine is 27.0%. Change the catalyst composition and other reaction conditions to adjust the ratio of product formation. The yield of 3-methylpyridine can reach 59.7% by selecting suitable ingredients and catalyst and replacing ammonia with hexamethylenetetramine. There are two production methods for 3-methylpyridine. One is recovered from coal coking by-products; the other is synthesized by the reaction of acetaldehyde, formaldehyde and ammonia. Using SiO2-Al2O3-Bi2O3 as catalyst, the raw material ratio is acetaldehyde: 37% formaldehyde: ammonia = 1.648: 1.665: 3.096 (molar ratio), the reaction is carried out at 432 ℃, and the yields of pyridine and 3-methylpyridine are 48.4% and 27.0% respectively. If the catalyst composition and other reaction conditions are changed, the production ratio of the product can be adjusted. For example, if the appropriate ratio and catalyst are selected and hexamethylenetetramine is used instead of ammonia, the yield of 3-methylpyridine can reach 59.7%. |
