Abstract
A series of 13 different 4-substituted 2,6-dimethyl-3, 5-diethoxycarbonyl)- 1,4-dihydropyridines have been oxidized to pyridine derivatives by potassi um peroxodisulfate in dry and wet acetonitrile solution at reflux condition . Formation of two kinds of products has been observed depending on the typ e of 4-substituent. Addition of water affects only the rate of oxidation.
