Abstract
A process for dealkylating the 2-position on a trisubstituted pyridine derivative having the formula ##STR1## where R.sub.1 is a straight chain alkyl group from about C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 and where R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are alkyl, aryl or aralkyl groups up to about C.sub.10, comprising the step of reacting said pyridine derivative at reflux with excess sulfur. Of particular note is the preparation of 2,3,5-trimethylpyridine including the initial preparation of its 2-ethyl precursor by the Chichibabin reaction of propionaldehyde and ammonia.
