Abstract

Some time ago, we reported2 that the Michael addition of a number of ketones to 2- vinylpyridine could be effected satisfactorily in the presence of sodium metal as the condensing agent. The present report is concerned with (a) a further elucidation of the course of reaction of methyl alkyl ketones with Zvinylpyridine,(b) the preparation of di-and tripyridylethylated ketones and (c) the establishment of satisfactory conditions for the use ...
