| Application | 3-picoline oxide is an organic compound, it can be used for the preparation of 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine compounds. 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine is an important intermediate for the production of pesticide imidacloprid and pyridin. Imidacloprid and Pyridoxine is a kind of chloronicotinoid insecticide, has the effect of killing and stomach poison to pests, and has excellent internal absorption activity, is a kind of efficient, broad-spectrum, safe, novel mechanism of action of pesticides, organophosphates, carbamates and synthetic pyrethroids with severe resistance to insect pests with special effects. |
| Use | 3-methylpyridine-n-oxide is an intermediate of imidacloprid and acetamiprid, used in the synthesis of the next intermediate 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine. |
| production method | the preparation method is prepared by reacting 3-methylpyridine with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalyst. Add certain 3-methyl pyridine to the reaction kettle, add the catalyst, Dropwise add hydrogen peroxide at 60~75 ℃, and react at this temperature for 7~8H, this is followed by dehydration under reduced pressure to obtain 3-methylpyridine-n-oxide. |
