Abstract
A novel 6-acetylpyridine-2-carboxylic acid (4) was obtained occasionally during the synthesis of asymmetric ethyl 6-acetylpyridine-2-carboxylate (3) from 2,6-dipiclinic acid (1). Compounds 3 and 4 could transform mutually under some specific conditions. Two reactions of distinctive types occurred when they reacted with the aromatic amines as precursors, due to different functional groups on the 2-position of pyridine in the molecules of 3 and 4: one was Schiff base condensation and the other was an amidation reaction. From the latter reaction, two series of new compounds, pyridine carboxamides (5a–d) and pyridine tert-carboximides (6a–h), resulted. The relevant reaction mechanism is discussed in detail.
