After 4 hours a homogeneoussolution was obtained. The solution was washed with toluene and then acidified to pH 2.5. The white precipitate was extracted with dichloromethane (3×5 volumes). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. The 2-carboxy-4-chloro-3,5-lutidine product was obtained as an off white solid in 85% yield.
