 note = {The alkaline ferricyanide oxidation at 32°of 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl) pyridinium bromides (3c-f) carrying the n-butyl, isopropyl, benzyl, and phenyl group at the 3-position has been found to produce the corresponding 2-(4c-f) and 6-pyridones (5c-f) in ratios of 74 : 26,71 : 29,69 : 31,and 13 : 87. In the case of the 3-benzyl derivative (3e), 1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenethyl)-5-benzoyl-2 (1H)-pyridone (5g) has also been obtained in 1% yield. On the basis of the present and earlier data, possible factors in determining the orientation in the ferricyanide oxidation of 1,3-disubstituted pyridinium salts are discussed.},
