摘要

It is shown that the product of the title reaction with tert-butylacetylene and ethyl cyanoformate is not ethyl 3, 5-di-tert-butyl-2-picolinate as reported in the recent literature but rather the 4, 5-isomer. Varying yields of the 4, 6-isomer are also obtained. The NMR spectra described for the 3, 5-dimethyl analogue likewise suggest a misassignment of structure in that case. A revised mechanism is tentatively given for these reactions.
