The selective electrochemical reduction of halogenated 4-aminopicolinic acids is improved by activating the cathode at a final potential from about +1.0 to about +1.8 volts.

Silver cathode activation

Hydrolysis of cyanopyridine may be reduced by use of picoline as a predominately non-aqueous quench fluid. The picoline quench fluid may also be a reactant in the manufacture of cyanopyridine.

Method of recovering cyanopyridines

The selective electrochemical reduction of halogenated 4-aminopicolinic acids is improved by activating the cathode in the presence of the starting material, excess alkali metal hydroxide and an alkali metal chloride, bromide or sulfate.
