Abstract
Differentially substituted bridged pyridinium oximes are necessary in research on antidotes for organophosphate poisoning. A solid‐phase synthesis would improve the yield and ease of purification of these compounds. To predict the lability of the linker in the final step of our proposed synthesis, we synthesized a series of pyridine and N‐methyl pyridinium acetals. These compounds proved to be resistant to acid catalyzed hydrolysis. This stability may be useful for synthetic manipulation of pyridine aldehydes.
