Abstract
Allylpyridylcarbinols (α or γ) were obtained from allyl picolyl ethers (α or γ) by the application of sodium amide in benzene. When the same reactions was carried out in xylene at 130∼140°, the yield of rearrangement product increased in the γ-compound, while a non-viscous oil was obtained from the α-compound. This non-viscous oily product was found to be identical with propyl α-pyridyl ketone.
