Carboxamido groups are introduced into the 6-position of 3-acylpyridines with high regioselectivity via Minisci reaction with formamides, Fe(II) sulfate and tert-butyl hydroperoxide.The isolation procedure is considerably improved by the addition of citric acid for complexation of the Fe ions.Fusaric acid and other 5-alkyl-2-pyridine carboxylic acids are obtained by a following Wolff-Kishner reaction in 20-75percent overall yield.
