The synthesis rate of 2-picolinic formic acid catalyzed by 2-methyl pyridine was studied to investigate the activity of mesoporous catalyst. The purpose is to prove that the mesoporous catalyst used is a high performance heterogeneous catalyst. It was found that the amount of catalyst, reaction time, temperature and other factors would influence the reaction process. These factors were controlled to maximize the reaction activity. 2.2 Catalytic Oxidation Reaction Under the oil bath of 80C, the catalyst of 55mg, 15mL acetic acid solvent and 0.59g of 2-methyl
