The reactions of ethyl pyruvate with acetic anhydride and pyridine were studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). Ethyl 2‐acetoxy‐2‐pyridiniumpropionate (1) ( m / z 238) resulting from the reaction of the acetylpyridinium cation with ethyl pyruvate, and the adduct of ethyl 2‐acetoxyacrylate with a pyridinium cation (2), bound together by non‐covalent interactions ( m / z 238), were identified by ESI‐MS for the first time. Structures 1 and 2 cannot be distinguished, probably because one may be converted into the other and vice versa. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
