Abstract
The electronic structures of some pyridine bases are analyzed by means of 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopic data for substituted pyridines and the calculated bond orders in the pyridine ring. The differences in the chemical bonds in the pyridine ring of isomeric methylpyridines and the carbon—carbon bonds between the ring and the methyl groups in these compounds are in agreement with the experimental data on the thermal stability of the simplest pyridine bases and the gas-phase transformation of the isomeric methylpyridines on an industrial nickel—aluminum catalyst. The possibility of obtaining mono- or dialkylpyridines under these conditions, depending on the structure of the starting pyridine bases, is demonstrated.
