It is produced industrially by condensation of acrolein, ammonia, and formaldehyde.[1]

Biodegradation

The biodegradation of pyridines proceeds via multiple pathways.[2] Although pyridine is an excellent source of carbon, nitrogen, and energy for certain microorganisms, methylation significantly retards degradation of the pyridine ring.[3][4]

Safety

The LD50 is 200 mg/kg (oral, rats).
