Abstract
Abstract A process of converting 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrimidines containing at least 1 hydrogen in the 2-position and at least one methylene group in the 4-position to corresponding pyridines which comprises heating said tetrahydropyrimidines to a temperature sufficiently high to remove ammonia and hydrogen so as to form said pyridines.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
70 words
The process of converting a 2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyrimidine of the formula ##SPC4## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 may be the same or different are hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, alkaryl, aralkyl or heterocyclic to the corresponding pyridine which comprises heating said tetrahydropyrimidine to a temperature between 75°C. and 350°C. sufficiently high to remove ammonia and hydrogen so as to form said pyridine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
