Pk. Tewary et al., SELECTIVE VAPOR-PHASE SYNTHESIS OF PYRIDINE-2-ALDEHYDE FROM 2-METHYLPYRIDINE, INDIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY, 2(3), 1995, pp. 178-178
Four per cent V2O5/TiO2 (anatase) catalyst is highly active and select
ive for the vapour phase oxidation of 2-methylpyridine (I) to pyridine
-2-aldehyde (II). In the present work, a 100 h test run has been carri
ed out which provided a constant yield of pyridine-2-aldehyde (II).
