Abstract
The reactivity of 2-, 3-, and 4-methylpyridines in vapor-phase catalytic oxidation was studied over a vanadium-molybdenum-phosphorus catalyst, deposited on fine-pored corundum (in nongradient conditions). The rate of total conversion of the methylpyridines decreases in the following series: 4-methylpyridine > 2-methylpyridine > > 3-methylpyridine. It is suggested that scission of the C-H bond in the methyl group of the oxidized compound is the first step in the process.
