✦ Synopsis

Some recent investigations on solvent and oxygen effects in the previously reported photochemical reactions of 4-nitropyridine 1-oxidel,2) have led to a discovery of a photochemical isomerization of 3,5-dimethyl-4-nitropyridine l-oxide3) (I) to 3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxypyridine l-oxide (II).
