Pyridine hydrochloride is a classical reagent for cleavage of aryl methyl ethers at 200-220o. It is also used in the demethylation of 4,5-dimethyl-7-methoxy-1-tetralone.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
Pyridine hydrochloride is a classical reagent for cleavage of aryl methyl ethers at 200-220o. It is also used in the demethylation of 4,5-dimethyl-7-methoxy-1-tetralone.

Solubility
Soluble in water (85 g/100 ml) and methanol.
