lutidine
Sign in to saveAlso known as dimethylpyridine, lutidines, dimethylpyridines
Lutidine is the trivial name used to describe the chemical compounds which are dimethyl derivatives of pyridine. They were discovered in Dippel's oil and named (as an anagram of toluidine, with which they share their empirical formula) by Thomas Anderson in 1851. Their chemical properties resemble those of pyridine, although the presence of the methyl groups may prohibit some of the more straightforward reactions. Lutidine comes in several isomers:

Lutidine is the trivial name used to describe the chemical compounds which are dimethyl derivatives of pyridine. They were discovered in Dippel's oil and named (as an anagram of toluidine, with which they share their empirical formula) by Thomas Anderson in 1851. Their chemical properties resemble those of pyridine, although the presence of the methyl groups may prohibit some of the more straightforward reactions. Lutidine comes in several isomers: 2,3-Lutidine (2,3-dimethylpyridine) 2,4-Lutidine (2,4-dimethylpyridine) 2,5-Lutidine (2,5-dimethylpyridine) 2,6-Lutidine (2,6-dimethylpyridine) 3,4-Lutidine (3,4-dimethylpyridine) 3,5-Lutidine (3,5-dimethylpyridine)
