Reaktionsschritte

4.98 g (217 mmol) of sodium is added to 80 ml of anhydrous methanol. The reaction medium is stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes and then 10 g (72.2 mmol) of 2-chloronicotinonitrile is added at 0° C. The reaction medium is stirred at 25° C. for 16 hours. The reaction is hydrolyzed by slowly adding water at 0° C. After returning to room temperature, the precipitate obtained is filtered, rinsed with water and then dried at 50° C. to yield 7.85 g (81%) of 2-methoxy-nicotinonitrile in the form of a yellow solid.
