4-Amino-5-fluoro-3-chloro-6-(substituted)picolinates are prepared from trifluoroacetic acid, p-methoxyaniline, a 3,3-dialkoxyprop-1-yne and a substituted methylene amine by a series of steps.

The present disclosure relates to the preparation of pyridine derivatives, such as α-picoline or α-parvoline, and catalysts useful for the selective preparation of such pyridine derivatives. Particularly, the present disclosure relates to the selective preparation of certain pyridine derivative using dealuminated zeolite catalysts.

A process for preparing a herbicidally active carboxylic acid salt is disclosed. The process comprises the steps of: i) combining a carboxylic acid with a high-boiling, water-immiscible organic solvent to obtain a solution or slurry; ii) treating the solution or slurry produced in step (i) with a base to form a carboxylic acid salt; iii) removing solvent from the mixture produced in step (ii) to obtain a carboxylic acid salt cake; and v) drying the cake obtained in step (iii).
The process is particularly suitable for preparing a salt of dicamba.
