The reaction of lithiopyridine 1‐oxides with oxygen gives poor yields of 1‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridones. The reaction with sulfur, however, is a convenient route to the 1‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridinethiones which have useful antibacterial and antifungal activity. Reaction with ethylene oxide gives mainly polymeric products, but addition to Shiff's bases promises to be a convenient mode of mono‐, and particularly di‐α‐aminoalkylation of pyridine 1‐oxides.
