Abstract

The alkali amide-effected alkylations of 2-and 4-picoline, which have been studied by Chichibabin and co-workers, have received much attention in recent years. 3 Although this method usually gives satisfactory yields of products, the required reaction times often are excessive. Because of our favorable result^^-^ on the acylations of the lithium derivatives of 2-picoline and related tar bases, prepared from the tar bases and phenyllithium, we have ...
