CH3 The resulting dihydro-See also:compound is then oxidized with nitrous See also:acid, the ester hydrolysed and the resulting acid heated with See also:lime; See also:carbon dioxide is eliminated and a trisubstituted See also:pyridine of the type CH C(CHI) is obtained. The reaction is apparently a R•C' \N See also:general one for all See also:aldehydes. On the course \CH :C(CH3)/ of the reaction see also C. Beyer, Ber., 1891, 24, p. 1662, and E. Knoevenagel, Ber., 1898, 31, p. 738. In this reaction the proportions of aldehyde and acetoacetic ester may be interchanged and ay disubstituted pyridines are then obtained. Of the other methods for preparing pyridine homologues mention may be made of the See also:discovery by A. Ladenburg that the pyridinium alkyl iodides rearrange themselves when strongly heated and yield a and y alkyl pyridines (Ber., 1883, 16, p. 1410 seq. ; See also:Ann., 1888, 247, p.

Jahns (Ber., 1885, 18, p. 2518), and is found in the seeds of Trigonella and See also:

Strophanthus hispidus. It is very soluble in water. With baryta it yields methylamine, and when heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid, to 26o° C. it yields methyl chloride and nicotinic acid. It was synthesized by A.

Hantzsch (Ber., 1886, 19, p. 31) by condensing methyl iodide and See also:

potassium nicotinate at 150° C. the resulting iodide being then decomposed by moist See also:silver See also:oxide. A. Pictet (Ber., 1897, 30, p. 2117) obtained it by oxidizing nicotine methyl hydroxide with potassium permanganate. Apophyllenic acid, C8H7NO4•H20, the methyl betaine of cinchomeronic acid, was synthesized by W. Roser (Ann., 1886, 234, p. 118). Piperidine or hexa-hydropyridine, C6H21N, was first obtained in 1848 by distilling See also:piperine with lime. It is formed in the See also:hydrolysis of piperine by alcoholic potash, by the reduction of trimethylene See also:cyanide (A. Ladenburg) and by the See also:action of alkalis on e-chloramylamine, Cl(See also:CH2)s•NH2 (S. See also:Gabriel, Ber., 1892, 25, p.

42I). It is also produced in the electrolytic oxidation of N-nitroso piperidine in sulphuric acid See also:

solution (F. B. See also:Ahrens, Ber., 1898, 31, p. 2275). It is a liquid which boils at 105—106° C., and possesses an ammoniacal See also:smell. It is readily soluble in water, See also:alcohol and See also:ether, and is a very powerful base. It is oxidized to pyridine by heating with concentrated sulphuric acid to 300° C., or with See also:nitrobenzene to 250° C., or with silver acetate to 180° C. Being an imide it readily yields a nitroso derivative, and N-alkyl and acidyl derivatives. The piperidine See also:ring is easily split. When heated with fuming hydriodic acid to 300° C. it yields normal pentane and ammonia, and See also:hydrogen peroxide oxidizes it to glutarimide and to a piperidinium oxide or oxime (R. Wolffenstein, Ber., 1904, 37, p.

3228). A. W. See also:

Braun (See also:Bee., 1904, 37, p. 2915) showed that benzoyl piperidine, when heated with See also:phosphorus pentachloride to 20o° C. in sealed tubes, yields benzonitrile, and pentamethylene dichloride, thus leading to a See also:simple method of preparing pentamethylene compounds. At 125—130° C. the compound C6H2C•Cl:N(C112)s•G is obtained; this with water yields benzoylamidochloramylamine C6H5CONH(CH2)5Cl, which when heated with hydrochloric acid tc 17o—18o° C. furnishes e-chloramylamine, See also:NH2(CH2)SCI. a-Propyl, piperidine is the See also:alkaloid conine (q.v.).
