Abstract

Abstract In contrast of Part II of the series, 4-alkyl-2-(difluoromethyl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3, 5- pyridinedicarboxylates, 1, were reacted with various strength bases to effect regio-selective reaction of electrophiles at either the benzylic carbanion of the 4-position, or at the 2- (difluoromethyl) carbanion. Weaker bases up to and including potassium butoxide or lithium bis (trimethylsilylamide) effected reaction of 1 at the 4-position to produce 2 and 3 by ...
