The synthesis of 1,4-dihydro-2-methyl- and 1,4-dihydro-1,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-nicotinic acids was accomplished following a route other than Ochiai's procedure, which yielded the isomer 1,6-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-nicotinic acid ethyl ester, and not the 4-oxo-derivative, as reported. Analytical data confirmed the identity of the two isomer oxo-nicotinic acids. UV-vis and potentiometric preliminary data showed that Al(III) does not form complexes with 1,6-dihydro-2-methyl-6-oxo-nicotinic acid ethyl ester in solution, as expected, but with 1,4-dihydro-2-methyl-4-oxo-nicotinic acid.
