The thermal decomposition of 2-methylpyridine N-oxide was studied at temperatures between 190 °C and 220 °C using an Automatic Pressure Tracking Adiabatic Calorimeter. The effect of the catalyst on the decomposition was evaluated using different amounts of phosphotungstic acid. It was determined that 2-methylpyridine N-oxide decomposes faster with low amounts of catalyst and temperatures above 200 °C. Below 200 °C, the decomposition is very slow. For the cases presented here, the decomposition reaction was accompanied by substantial production of non-condensable gasses, and 2-methylpyridine and pyridine were identified as the main decomposition products.
