• 2-Vinylpyridine, one of the more important coal t a r products developed by Reilly, is a highly versatile organic chemical. N o t only is it capable of polymerizing to form a series of unusual polymers, b u t it is also capable of undergoing a number of interesting reactions. Illustrated are only a few of the m a n y pyridine compounds t h a t m a y be synthesized from 2-Vinylpyridine. The chemical activity of this material commends it to all research and production departments interested in either the preparation of polymers or the synthesis of organic chemicals. Among the uses to which 2-Vinylpyridine has already been p u t have been the production of plastics and synthetic elastomers. There are also many interesting possibilities in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, insecticides and fungicides. Manufacturers in any of these fields will find 2-Vinylpyridine well worth their investigation. Your inquiries on 2-Vinylpyridine, or any other coal t a r chemical, are invited, and will have prompt attention.
