Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for stabilizing 4-halopyridines of the formula (I) by adding a secondary and/or aliphatic or mixed aliphatic-aromatic tertiary amine, and mixtures comprising a compound of the formula (I) and a secondary and/or tertiary amine.

Claims (9)

1. A process for stabilizing a compound of formula (III)

which comprises admixing the compound of formula (III) with one or more amines selected from the group consisting of secondary amines, tertiary aliphatic amines, and tertiary mixed aliphatic-aromatic amines.

2. The process as set forth in claim 1 , wherein one amine is used.

3. The process as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the content of secondary amine, tertiary aliphatic amine, or tertiary mixed aliphatic-aromatic amine is from about 0.05% to about 5.0%.

4. The process as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the secondary amine is diisopropylamine, morpholine, pyrrolidine, piperidine or N,N-dicyclohexylamine.

5. The process as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the tertiary aliphatic amine is

N-methylmorpholine, ethyldiisopropylamine,

N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA), 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]-5-nonene (DBN), 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU), dicyclohexylethylamine or urotropine.

6. The process as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the tertiary mixed aliphatic-aromatic amine is dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) or N,N-dimethylaniline.
