Aminomethylation of α‐methylstyrene ( 1 ) leads to 1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐4‐phenylpyridine ( 3 ) as main product, together with a significant amount of a previously unknown by‐product. The N ‐methyl, O ‐acetyl‐ N ‐methyl, N , O ‐diacetyl, N ‐(4‐nitrobenzoyl), and ( via N → O acyl‐migration) O ‐(4‐nitrobenzoyl) derivatives of the by‐product were synthesized. By aromatization of the heteroring, 4‐phenyl‐3‐pyridinemethanol ( 8a ) was obtained. According to these derivatives and their IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra, the by‐product is 1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐4‐phenyl‐3‐pyridinemethanol ( 4a ).
